5 Big Takeaways: Squid Game Star Predicts Return After Season 3

The global hit series Squid Game may not be done yet. Despite a controversial Season 3 finale set in the USA, one of the show’s lead stars has made a bold prediction—Season 4 could be coming.

In a recent interview, Lee Jung-jae, who plays the lead character Seong Gi-hun, shared his thoughts on the show’s future and hinted that Netflix may not have closed the door on another season.

The actor’s comments come just weeks after Squid Game’s Season 3 wrapped up with a divisive ending, leaving fans confused, emotional, and demanding answers.

Here’s everything we know about the current state of Squid Game, including 5 major takeaways from Lee Jung-jae’s interview and what it could mean for the future of Netflix’s biggest thriller.

1. Lee Jung-jae Says “There’s More to the Story”

In an interview with a Korean entertainment outlet, Lee Jung-jae revealed that although Season 3 offered some closure, he believes the story isn’t finished.

“Season 3 was emotional and powerful, but it left too many open questions. I believe the story of Gi-hun has more to explore,” he said.

His remarks have sparked fresh rumors that Netflix is in early talks about a potential fourth season—even though no official announcement has been made.

The actor, who won an Emmy for his role, said he would be open to returning “if the story was meaningful and continued the original message.”

2. Season 3’s USA Ending Sparked Controversy

Season 3 of Squid Game made a bold shift by taking part of the deadly competition to the United States, introducing a new layer of Western politics, corporate involvement, and media spectacle.

While some fans appreciated the commentary on American greed and entertainment culture, others felt the twist strayed too far from the original South Korean setting and tone.

Social media reactions were mixed:

  • “Season 3 was too Hollywood. Bring back the simplicity of Season 1.”
  • “Loved the message. The USA twist was risky but bold.”
  • “If this is the end, it’s not the one we wanted.”

Many fans also noted that Gi-hun’s arc felt incomplete, and his motivations remained unclear, especially in the final scenes.

3. Netflix Hasn’t Confirmed Season 4, But Didn’t Say No

So far, Netflix has not officially renewed Squid Game for Season 4. However, the streaming giant has also not ruled it out.

Following the Season 3 finale, Netflix released a brief statement saying:

“Squid Game continues to spark global conversations. We thank fans for their passion and engagement. No future seasons are confirmed at this time.”

Insiders close to the production say Netflix is closely monitoring fan reaction, streaming numbers, and global feedback before making any decision.

Given that Squid Game still remains one of the platform’s most-watched series of all time, a Season 4 is not out of the question.

4. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk Still Has Ideas

Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, who directed all three seasons, has previously stated that he has multiple versions of how Gi-hun’s journey could end.

In an earlier interview, he said:

“The Squid Game universe has many layers. We’ve only seen the surface. There’s more to explore—from the Front Man to the origins of the games.”

While he has also spoken about wanting to move on to new projects, fans hope that he’ll return for at least one final season to tie things together.

Hwang is known for writing with intention, so if he chooses to bring Squid Game back, it’s likely to be story-driven rather than money-driven.

5. Fan Theories Fuel Season 4 Hype

As with every Squid Game season, fans have flooded Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube with theories about what might come next. Some of the most popular predictions include:

  • Gi-hun becoming a Game Master to destroy the system from within
  • A worldwide rebellion of former players rising up against the creators
  • The return of characters presumed dead, possibly in flashbacks
  • A deeper look into the VIPs and their global influence

With Lee Jung-jae’s recent comments and fan interest at an all-time high, the pressure is on Netflix to either confirm a continuation—or offer proper closure.

Final Thoughts: Is Squid Game Truly Over?

Three seasons in, Squid Game has changed global streaming forever, proving that non-English-language content can dominate charts, spark cultural moments, and inspire social movements.

Whether or not Season 4 happens, Lee Jung-jae’s hint gives fans hope that Gi-hun’s journey might not be over, and that the world of Squid Game may still hold more dark surprises.

For now, the wait begins—but as history shows, Netflix listens when the fans speak loudly enough.

So is this really the end of the game? Or just the beginning of the final round?
