Squid Game 3 is set to release in 2025, with many speculations about its final cast list. Leonardo DiCaprio is an actor who has been speculated to join the popular Korean drama for its final season. However, Netflix has set the record straight regarding the rumors.
According to Maeil Business Newspaper, a Netflix representative confirmed that the Hollywood actor will not be appearing in the final season. They stated that the reports about DiCaprio taking a role in the production were false.

In an interview with Deadline, Hwang mentioned that he loved the idea and would be delighted if DiCaprio were to join the show. However, the latest statement from Netflix has officially ended the speculation.

While there is no confirmed date for the show's arrival yet, Squid Game 3 is expected to be released via Netflix sometime in 2025. Filming for the season started in July 2023 and ended in June 2024. The episodes were filmed back-to-back, along with the second season of the series, which was released on December 26, 2024.

As per Netflix, Hwang Dong-hyuk disclosed the news via a letter to fans. He said:
“I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season. The fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man’s] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.”
