Squid Game: Season 3 | New Trailer | Netflix

Squid Game season 3 premiers in 2025, and Netflix already has the perfect K-drama to watch while waiting for it. Although the show had already been officially renewed for a third season before the second one came out, many were surprised by Squid Game season 2’s cliffhanger. The fact that Squid Game season 2 felt incomplete can be frustrating, but fortunately, the show will not take long to return. That said, Netflix has some great K-dramas that are similar to Squid Game in some ways and that can ease the wait for season 3.

Squid Game season 2’s cast saw the return of Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun but also introduced a lot of new characters. K-drama fans probably recognized many of the new faces in Squid Game, most of whom had already played important roles in other successful shows. Although there is a long list of K-dramas starring or at least featuring Squid Game actors, one particularly great show to watch while waiting for Squid Game season 3 is Sweet Home – a Netflix original K-drama full of horrifying deaths and compelling characters.
