Watch: 'Squid Game' returns for Season 2 in December, final season in 2025

July 31 (UPI) -- Netflix announced the premiere date for Squid Game Season 2 on Wednesday. Season 2 will premiere Dec. 26 followed by a third and final season in 2025.

Creator, Director and Executive Producer Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote a letter announcing the news. Netflix renewed the show in June 2022 and offered a teaser in February this year, but this is the first news of a third and final season.

Hwang also shared some plot details in his letter. In Squid Game , Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo) won a deathmatch of children's games for a grand prize of 45.6 million won.

"Seong Gi-hun who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1 returns and joins the game again," Hwang wrote. "Front Man doesn't seem to be an easy opponent this time either."

Lee Jung-jae played Seong and spoke to UPI before he had read scripts for Season 2. Lee was patiently waiting for Hwang to share them.

Netflix also released a teaser alluding to the Paris Olympics. A crowd of contestants in green uniforms intrude upon a track and field race.

A new photo shows Seong back in his contestant #456 uniform.

Squid Game premiered Sept. 17, 2021 and broke Netflix records . It also inspired a reality competition, Squid Game: The Challenge , in which a contestant can win real money in non fatal games.
