Mark your calendars, because Netflix has officially confirmed that Season 3 drops on June 27, 2026. Yes, you read that right—we’re waiting until next summer. I know, I know, it feels like waiting for the kettle to boil while wearing a red jumpsuit. But trust me, it’ll be worth it.
Why June? Who knows. Maybe the giant doll needs a summer holiday. Or maybe the Front Man is busy planning another round of “Red Light, Green Light” with better prizes. Whatever the reason, we’ve got exactly one mission: survive the wait.
UK Release Time: The Magic Number
Let’s get down to brass tacks. In the UK, Squid Game Season 3 will be available to stream from 8:01 AM BST on June 27. That’s right—8:01, not 8:00. Netflix loves a little suspense, even with the clock.
Why 8:01? Honestly, I think it’s just to mess with early birds. You’ll be sitting there at 7:59 AM, coffee in hand, hitting refresh like a maniac. At 8:00, nothing. Then bam—one minute later, it’s showtime. Classic Netflix, keeping us on our toes.
If you’re a night owl, don’t panic. That’s 7:01 PM for our friends in New Zealand, or 12:01 AM on June 28 in Australia. For the US East Coast, it’s 3:01 AM—which is basically the witching hour for Squid Game fans. But hey, no sacrifice is too great for Gi-hun’s next tragic haircut.
