Amid rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio would appear in Squid Game Season 3, Netflix has categorically denied the claims.

While quashing the rumors, Netflix brought exciting news for fans by announcing that Squid Game 3 is set to premiere in 2025. The announcement followed the record-breaking success of Season 2, which garnered 68 million views in its first week, making it Netflix’s most-watched opening week ever.

Squid Game, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, first premiered in 2021 and became a global phenomenon. Reflecting on the show’s success, Dong-hyuk shared, “I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge,” explaining that the concept began as a two-hour film 15 years ago before evolving into a Netflix series.
