Is this the end of Squid Games?

Ella Harner, Arts and Graphics Director August 26, 2025 2 minutes read

“Squid Games” season three – the end of an era. 

“Squid Games” has been one of the most talked-about shows over the past few years. From the initial shock of season one, where we got to watch 456’s downfall. To season two, where we watched new characters rise and fall once more – it was almost scary wondering where season three was going to take our beloved players.

This season was almost like a part two of the previous season, starting where we left off, the rebels failing. Watching the similarities between the Front Man and 456 was incredible, and I didn’t know what to expect from either of their decisions.

A big part of “Squid Game” season three was obviously the baby. 456 and the baby. The grandma and the baby. No offense, but can we shut up about that baby?

I get the point, it shows the new life coming into the world while the games gain a new life as well, everything falls together. So yes, it does work well for the story. Yet it’s the same thing I thought about last season and the voting; it just kept getting mentioned.

The one thing I enjoyed about the whole baby thing was during the hide-and-seek game. It showed three women, all at different stages of their lives, working together through such a troubling time. It was a beautiful scene, which ultimately ended with us being sucked back into the game’s reality.

I think people have a problem with this season because of the ending, but personally, I think it was needed. It marked the end of an era, but it left space open for a new version of the show fans love. It was important to watch Jun-ho reach the end of his mission, no matter the result of it. So many people are involved, and everything can self-destruct at any moment. Even after the destruction, there is nothing I want more than another season of Squid Games. According to Netflix, this is the end, but it didn’t stop fans from speculating a spin-off due to the final scenes of season three.
