As the date for season 3 of the megahit Netflix series 'Squid Game' approaches, excitement is reaching new heights. Recently, Korean netizens discovered new information about the season's episode count, further increasing anticipation.

According to an information platform, Namu Wiki, 'Squid Game 3' is expected to have only six episodes. Additionally, it was revealed that the budget for season 3 is 100 Billion KRW (68.9 million USD).

Season 3 will be released on June 27. Although Netflix has not officially confirmed the episode count, fans are expressing disappointment over the shorter season.

"I'm so curious what story they would be able to tell in just 6 episodes."
