Speaking to Variety about the release and expectations for Season 3, Hwang said, “At this point, anything I say might be a spoiler, so I want to be cautious. But what I can say is that after Season 2 launches, we will soon be announcing the launch date for Season 3. I expect it to arrive around summer or fall next year.”
Regarding the storyline, he added, “Gi-hun has lost everything, including his best friend, and all his attempts have ended in failure. Now, what will he do? What state will he be in? Will he continue his mission, or will he give up? You’ll meet Gi-hun at a critical crossroads as we begin the third season—he will not be the same man from Season 2.”
