You won't have to wait too much longer to find out how the story of Squid Game wraps up. Only a month after the second season premiered, Netflix has revealed that the final episodes of its biggest non-English language series ever will arrive on June 27. That's a remarkably short window, especially considering that there was a gap of over three years between the first and second seasons.
As was the case the last time around, the third season will pick up right where the previous one ended (no spoilers here, but season two ended on a cliffhanger). Meanwhile, Netflix has revealed that season two of Squid Game is already its third most-downloaded series of all time, behind the first season in top spot and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Netflix announced the Squid Game season three release date as part of an expansive look at its 2025 film and TV slate. On the movie side, there's another Knives Out murder mystery to look forward to in the fall, as well as Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein this November. As for Netflix's shows, the animated adaptation of Devil May Cry will debut on April 3.
The company reaffirmed that the next seasons of Black Mirror, Wednesday, The Witcher and Stranger Things will arrive this year, but no dates have been confirmed for those as yet. To speculate for a moment, a fall premiere date for Stranger Things season five seems likely. Both that and Squid Game are among the company's franchises and putting some distance between their final installments makes sense.

BET Awards: Jamie Foxx Tearfully Thanks God for Giving Him a 'Second Chance' After Health Scare
Jamie Foxx got emotional while accepting the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards on Monday night. The actor-comedian-singer struggled to hold back tears during his speech as he thanked God for giving him a 'second chance' following his health emergency in April 2023. He revealed in his Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…, that he had suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke. More from The Hollywood Reporter Jonathan Mayers, Concert Promoter and Bonnaroo Co-Founder, Dies at 51 Doechii Calls Out Trump's "Ruthless Attacks" Amid L.A. Protests in BET Speech: "What Type of Government Is That?" Thank You, Sly Stone 'I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there,' Foxx began after accepting the award. 'I gotta be honest, when I saw the In Memoriam, I was like, man, it could have been me. I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I'm not gonna turn down.' 'I have so much love to give. I told him [God], I said, man, just give me one more crack at this,' Foxx continued as his eyes filled with tears. 'I said, for whatever reason you put this on me, I promise I'm gonna do right. And I'm gonna do right in front of y'all 'cause I know a lot of times when we get on, we forget about where we come from. When I did my special, it was in front of Black people. Black people were the ones that said, man, we got you. Not to say that white people can't pray either. I know that sounds weird, but y'all know what I'm saying. It's like you guys held me down, and I don't want to make this whole speech about that, but you can't go through something like that and not testify.' The Oscar-winning actor also showed his appreciation for his daughters, Corinne and Anelise, for helping him through his tough recovery and making 'sure I was here.' Prior to his Netflix special, Foxx shared few details about an undisclosed medical complication in April 2023 that left him hospitalized. He then disappeared from the spotlight for six months to focus on recovery. Elsewhere during his speech, Foxx also thanked BET 'for this wonderful award.' He added, 'I say this all the time, thank you to Black people and the Black award, because this is what really counts. A lot of people think like the Oscars is the biggest thing, and we got to quit thinking like that. And that's coming from a person who won an Oscar, I was nominated twice, but the Icon Award is the most important award because it comes from us.'

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's move to the UK has been ‘difficult' amid renovation
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have had a few bumps in the road to deal with as they settle into their new life in England, but a source exclusively tells In Touch that they're committed to making the most of their adventure and not letting any setbacks get them down. 'They knew going into this that it wasn't going to be totally smooth sailing, it was always going to be a challenge,' the source says of the U.K. move. 'Taking on a big renovation in a foreign country is not easy. But they're both very skilled at renovation. It's one of their passions.' After decades of calling California home, Ellen, 67, and Portia, 52, quietly packed up in 2024 and moved more than 5,000 miles to a new 43-acre property nestled in Cotswolds, the heart of the British countryside about 90 minutes outside of London. The Cotswolds' celebrity residents include David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Simon Cowell. Ellen and Portia sold their Carpinteria, California, estate — which they purchased for $70 million in 2022 — to Singapore-based tycoon Robert Friedland for a whopping $96 million. Unfortunately, their new $15 million Cotswolds home was plagued with floods, resulting in expensive damage, and the couple has since moved to a new mansion which is about 30 minutes from their original property. The source says the couple — who have been married since 2008 — have 'navigated plenty of hiccups' in the past with other projects, adding, 'So they weren't all that thrown off by the stumbling blocks they've faced in the U.K.' 'It's been difficult at times because they do miss the comfort of things back in America, but more than anything they're pleased to be embracing this new start,' the insider explains. 'They're getting to know the people around them and loving the property and the area. They take long walks in the woods every day, build roaring fires at night, all that stuff that's so typical of the English countryside. Ultimately, it is proving to be a very good move for their souls and for their marriage.' The bumps in the road come after In Touch reported that the couple moved overseas in late 2024 because Ellen was 'just done' with the United States, while her wife was equally ready to 'turn the page' and begin a new chapter in their lives. Ellen had gone into isolation over the years following reports that she was mean to her staff on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In light of the scandal, the former host chose to end her long-running talk show in May 2021 after 19 seasons. She opened up in a rare comment about being canceled during her Ellen's Last Stand … Up tour stop at Radio City Music Hall in New York City before her move in August 2024. During her set, Ellen recalled being dubbed the 'most hated person in America' after years of being the celebrity personality that fans 'most want to babysit' their children. She then recounted turning to professional help in light of the backlash and was advised to 'avoid all media.' After she seemed to hit rock bottom, Ellen recalled how she eventually regained the strength to 'heal' when she started writing jokes again. She then credited getting out of the 'bubble in Hollywood' for helping her realize the 'amount of support' she was still receiving from her loved ones. Copyright 2025 Us Weekly. All rights reserved.
