In an exciting twist of events, it appears that Netflix unintentionally leaked the release date for the highly anticipated third season of Squid Game. A teaser, albeit short-lived on Netflix Korea’s YouTube channel, featured the release date, however, the clip was soon removed. But it was too late as keen-eyed fans were fast to catch the possible spoiler, generating strong buzz and forecasts all over social media.

A ‘Slip-Up’ That Excited Fans

The teaser starred the iconic robot doll Young Hee, along with her newly introduced counterpart, Chul Su, ominously preparing for a new game. The chilling scene indicated another round of life-and-death challenge that the fans have learned to expect from the series.

Adding fuel to the excitement was the title of the teaser: ‘Squid Game Season 3 2025 Release’ and it’s description, which revealed that the release date of the show will be June 27, 2025. This little left for the imagination. However, the teaser’s sudden disappearance raised some eyebrows.

Was this really a mistake, or a clever marketing ploy by Netflix to build anticipation? Regardless of intent, the reaction was immediate, with fans expressing both relief and excitement over a shorter wait for the series’ next installment.
