It was a long three-year wait between the first seasons of Squid Game, but luckily, the finale is coming much faster. Netflix announced today that season 3 of Squid Gamewhich will also be the show’s last — will start streaming on June 27th.

That’s around six months after the long-awaited season 2 premiered on Netflix on December 26th of last year. The show, which has gone on to become Netflix’s biggest series, originally kicked off in 2021. There aren’t a lot of details for what viewers can expect in season 3, but Netflix did release a handful of images as part of the announcement, which show some of the survivors from last season’s bullet-soaked finale:

Of course, while the main show is ending this year, Netflix seems intent on keeping the Squid Game train moving along. So far, it has expanded the Squid Game universe with both a reality show and a multiplayer video game, and there are reports of a spinoff in the works from David Fincher.
