Squid Game 3 Release Date Cookie Video Interpretation Director Interview Summary! (+Season 2 Cold Reaction)

Netflix's global hit series Squid Game returns for Season 3!

This is news that even those who were disappointed with the ending while watching season 2 should pay special attention to ><

In this article, we will cover the release date of Squid Game 3, the hidden meaning in the cookie video, and the interview with director Hwang Dong-hyeok.

1. Squid Game 3 Release Date

Director Hwang Dong-hyeok recently revealed in an interview that the release date for Squid Game Season 3 is expected to be summer or fall 2025 .

Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed simultaneously and are currently in post-production.

2. Cookie video interpretation

• The appearance of Cheolsu and Yeonghee

The final cookie video of season 2 was short but powerful.

The most notable thing about the video is the introduction of a new large doll character called Cheolsu .

The scene where the two dolls stand facing each other hints at a new team competition format where contestants are divided into two teams and compete.

• Implications of the trolley dilemma

Additionally, the train tracks and traffic lights that appeared in the latter half of the cookie video are important hints that make us anticipate the thrill of the new game in Season 3.

The train tracks and traffic lights are reminiscent of the 'trolley dilemma', a philosophical problem that explores ethical conflict, a dilemma about whether to sacrifice the minority to save the majority, or vice versa .

This is also deeply connected to the theme of human nature and value judgment, which is the essence of the Squid Game work.

• Expected Game
Additionally, the train tracks and traffic lights are reminiscent of a game where players must cross the tracks within a limited time, which is expected to create extreme tension in participants as they face the crossroads of survival and ethical choices.

You're supposed to stop at a red light, but if you don't move within a limited amount of time, you're at risk of colliding with a train, which is likely to be one of the most shocking scenes of Season 3.

3. Interview with Director Hwang Dong-hyeok

▶ Season 2, the reason for the increase in the proportion of young participants

Director Hwang Dong-hyeok said that Season 2 and Season 3 contained important social messages.

He said, "As times change, the age group that has to shoulder debt and take big risks is getting younger," and explained that the appearance of young participants in the work reflects current Korean society.

▶ Season 3 Time Background

Director Hwang also revealed that Season 3 will be connected to Season 2, but set 10 to 20 years in the future. This is expected to deal with deeper conflicts and changes in the stories of existing characters and new participants. He said, "Season 3 will be darker, more brutal, and sadder than Season 2, but at the same time, there will be quirky and humorous aspects," foreshadowing a strong change.

+Cold foreign media response to season 2

Squid Game 2 is receiving somewhat harsh reviews from foreign media.

Foreign media outlets commonly pointed out that the way 'blood' and 'murder' were described was inappropriate.

The New York Times criticized, "As the game continues, bloody scenes are repeated amidst twists and turns, which is more painful than fun," and showed a new and critical perspective by pointing out, "If this work is only a means of showing brutal slaughter, we are just 'VIPs' (people who watch the squid game in the play).

The Guardian, a British daily newspaper, also pointed out that splitting seasons 2 and 3 again is a chronic bad habit in Hollywood, saying, "It is a chronic bad habit in Hollywood to split the story and release it in parts to increase profits."

🦑 For those who were disappointed with the ending of Season 2, Season 3 is likely to make up for it.

Based on director Hwang Dong-hyeok's intentions and the clues contained in the cookie video, we can look forward to an even larger scale and more interesting game.
