A Netflix representative clarified, “The rumors are completely false. Reports of Leonardo DiCaprio’s involvement in Squid Game Season 3 are entirely unfounded.”
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.
