Seoul, Jun 27: After a three-year wait, the much-anticipated Season 3 of Netflix’s hit South Korean series Squid Game premiered globally today, June 27. The new season, consisting of six intense episodes averaging an hour each, has already sparked a frenzy among fans who binge-watched it within hours of release.

Picking up from Season 2’s cliffhanger ending, the third instalment dives straight into the grim world of deadly games, with lead character Gi-hun once again at the centre of a high-stakes survival ordeal. While the series continues to explore themes of despair, desperation, and moral collapse, audience reactions have been divided.

One viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Overall, it’s better than the 2nd season. The deaths are brutal, the stakes are super high and it’s the darkest and most emotional season yet. Super depressing and full of twists. Keeps the message of hopelessness. GOOD!"

However, not everyone was impressed. Another user vented, "If you thought season 2 was bad, then get ready to be even more disappointed. Season 3 is absolute trash... it lost everything it had going for it. The ending is infuriating."

Despite the polarised opinions, fans agree the new season pushes the boundaries of tension and storytelling. As speculation builds over a possible fourth season, all eyes are now on Netflix to announce what’s next for the global phenomenon.
