Squid Game season 3 release time: When does Netflix hit's final series come out?

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Squid Game.

Squid Game season three is set to drop this week, but when exactly can Netflix subscribers immerse themselves in the iconic South Korean horror drama?

It's been six months since the second series arrived, with Gi-hun (portrayed by Lee Jung-jae) rejoining the games after his victory in the first season, determined to end the brutal competition for good.

Despite his best efforts and considerable support from the new players introduced in the second season, the rebellion failed and Gi-hun was punished with the death of his friend and former colleague Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan).

Now, fans are eagerly anticipating the third and final season of Squid Game, which promises to bring the terrifying story to a definitive end.

As we count down to its release, here's everything you need to know about when Netflix subscribers can watch Squid Game season three.

The third season of Squid Game will make its international debut on Friday, June 27, on Netflix.

However, the exact time the six-episode final series will be available depends on your location, given the world's various time zones.

For those living in the Pacific Time zone in the US, Squid Game season three will be released just after midnight on June 27, while those on the east coast can expect the episodes at 3am ET (Eastern Time).

Netflix UK subscribers are in for a treat as they'll receive access to series three simultaneously with the global release, scheduled for 8am BST on the launch date.

The season's unveiling will be simultaneous worldwide, with only the time itself that differs.

Fans of Squid Game should brace themselves for an emotional finale as the third instalment has been announced as the last season of the Netflix phenomenon, much to the dismay of its devoted fanbase.

Nonetheless, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted at the potential for a spin-off in the future.

In an interview with People, he intriguingly commented: "I cannot just tell right now when and how it's going to happen. But there's a chance."

As excitement builds, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an enthralling conclusion to the unforgettable drama.

Squid Game season three premieres on Friday, June 27, on Netflix.
