We may have had to wait three years between Squid Game's first two seasons, but the smash hit's third and final season is just around the corner.

On Jan. 30, Netflix announced that Squid Game Season 3 will premiere June 27, 2025. That means there's less than six months to go before we find out what happened in the aftermath of Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) failed rebellion — and what the deal is with that new creepy doll.

Along with Squid Game Season 3's release date, Netflix also revealed several first-look photos for the season, which include Gi-hun handcuffed to a bed, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) contemplating his mask, guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young) standing on what looks like a rocky beach, and the remaining players gathered around a coffin. See all of these below:
