“Squid game”, it's already over! The most seen series of all time on Netflix has just put an end to its story with season 3 which has only six small episodes … But why?
Have you ever barse for Squid Game's final and you wonder why season 3 has only 6 episodes? As a reminder, season 1 had 9 episodes and season 2 began to reduce the wing by lowering delivery to 7 episodes. What does the creator of the series say, Hwang Dong-Hyuk, about this? While the final season ends with a worldwide success, fans are curious to know the reason for this shorter format.
Why is season 3 of Squid Game so short with only 6 episodes?
Season 3 of Squid Game has only 6 episodes because the creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk had initially written seasons 2 and 3 as one and the same story. Simply.
“”Originally, I considered the seasons 2 and 3 as a single story“, Hwang told Entertainment Weeklylast December at the time of the promotion of season 2. “This is how I wrote it. But during the process, it turned out to be too many episodes. So I thought it would be better to divide it in half.“”

According to Hwang, the series has always been intended to conclude with season 3, and the narration of the final season allows it to complete the Gi-Hun arc. “”I wanted to tell the story of what happened to Gi-Hun after the place where we leave it at the end of season 1 and what he does, what kind of actions he undertakes in order to put an end to these games“He said.”The story I wanted to tell has reached a complete conclusion at the end of season 3.“”
The format of six episodes therefore results from the division of the narrative initially longer. “”It turned out to have too many episodes“Said Hwang, in reference to his initial scripts. Consequently, Netflix and Hwang Dong-Hyuk decided to divide the story into two seasons. This allowed them to avoid condense the intrigue or stretch a single season too in length.
