Speaking to Variety, Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that fans shouldn't have to wait as long as the gap between 2021's season 1 and 2024's season 2.
"I believe we will be announcing the launch date for season 3 soon," he said. "I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year.

He also teased how season 3 is going to be different, following the season 2 finale cliffhanger reveal that In-ho is actually the antagonistic Front Man, and befriended Gi-hun within the latest game only to sabotage his efforts and break him by killing Jung-bae.
"As for the storyline of the third season, Gi-hun having lost everything, including his best friend, and all of his attempts going to failure, it's now: what is he going to be like?" the creator continued.

"What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist? And so you're going to meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as we begin the third season. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in season 2.
"If you saw the hidden clip after the ending credits roll after the last episode of season 2 — if you watch that clip, it's going to give you a slight hint as to where season 3 might take you. I think that's all I can say, for now."
Squid Game seasons 1 and 2 are available on Netflix now.
