'Squid Game' maker shares big season 3 insights

Squid Game season two ending gives a hint about what was coming next in the season three.

During an interview with AP News, the showrunner, Hwang Dong-hyuk, said the upcoming season will see a time jump.

“Season 3 of Squid Game will be set in 10 to 20 years in the future. It will be darker and sadder, but at the same time, it’ll also be quite humorous,” he said.

The maker also told the outlet that season three was already in the works simultaneously with season two.

According to him, the forthcoming season is in the post-production stage and is set to release in 2025.

In a separate interview, Hwang also reflected on the motion-detecting doll in the season two post-credit scene.

“That’s actually a [sneak peek] of Cheol-su, who, like Young-hee, is a new giant doll that we’re going to be showcasing in season 3,” he told EW.

“And that’s also a hint at the most exciting game in season 3 as well. So, while it hasn’t been shared yet, I hope everyone will be excited to meet Cheol-su and the new game,” the Squid Game maker concluded.
