Squid Game star Lee Seo-hwan has revealed a dark theory he has for the next chapter in the Netflix mega-hit, after Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) was dealt a devastating blow in the season 2 finale.

The second season of 'Squid Game' just had its largest viewership decline and has a hard road to catch the record set by Season 1.

Since its premiere on December 26, 2024, over 150 million people have watched the long-awaited series Squid Game season 2, making it Netflix’s biggest TV debut ever. However, not all viewers have probably caught on to the myriad of details its director Hwang Dong-hyuk has hidden and scattered throughout the episodes.

Squid Game Season 2 had some big shoes to fill when it arrived, given just how wildly successful the Emmy-winning first season was. And although the sophomore run on Netflix was a fun one, the format change was frustrating. Specifically, that it took us so long to get in the games, and how few games actually happened through the second season.

With 152.5 million total views, 'Squid Game' Season 2 trails behind only its own first season (265 million) and "Wednesday" (252 million).

Squid Game season 3 is expected to premiere on Netflix in 2025, and when fans tune into the series finale, they want to see these storylines.
