The Korean show, which followed a group of poor civilians fighting for their lives in a deadly competition to win enough money to pay off their debts, quickly became a pop-culture sensation when it premiered in September 2021. Replica costumes from the show were worn at protests, YouTubers and other groups pledged to recreate the games in real life, and new memes and TikTok trends were inspired by its games.
A month after its release, “Squid Game” became the most-watched series on the platform. It broke records by becoming the first foreign-language series and the first Korean series to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award. Netflix then created a reality competition show based on the drama, which premiered in November 2023.
Netflix renewed the show in June 2022, and this year confirmed that it had commissioned three seasons in total.
Season two drops on December 26, 2024, and the third and final season will premiere in 2025.
