Before diving back into the dystopian thriller, here’s everything to know about the ending of Squid Game season 1. In the final game of season 1, childhood friends Gi-hun and Sang-woo face off in the titular Squid Game — their once-close bond shattered by the brutality of the competition.

Squid Game Season 2 may have ended on a brutal cliffhanger, but fret not! The show's third and final season is confirmed for a 2025 release — and the Season 2 finale even includes a post-credits scene to hint at what's coming next.

"Some may even curse that it's ending on such a cliffhanger," Lee Jung-jae says. Warning: This article contains spoilers about the Squid Game season 2 finale. It wouldn't be a season of Squid Game without Player 001 secretly being a rich VIP who enters the game in disguise.
