Despite rumors circulating online, Netflix has confirmed that Leonardo DiCaprio will not be appearing in the upcoming third season of Squid Game.
Netflix has responded to the burgeoning rumours that Leonardo DiCaprio will be joining the cast of Squid Game 3, mere hours after speculation began to spread like wildfire across social media platforms. The blockbuster Korean series launched its second season on December 26, 2024, and spectacularly amassed 68 million views within the first week alone, smashing the record previously set by Wednesday.
Hot on the heels of this triumphant premiere, Netflix confirmed that a third season is slated for release in 2025. Buzz about DiCaprio's involvement gained momentum shortly thereafter. The rumour mill went into overdrive following a January 1 report by Korean media outlet OSEN, suggesting that DiCaprio is poised to make a surprise cameo in the eagerly-awaited third instalment. Their article claimed: 'Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio will be appearing in the Netflix mega-hit Squid Game Three. Filming has already been completed, and he is said to make a surprise appearance in Season Three, which will be released this summer.' It added: 'It is said that the amount of screen time will not be long, and the exact character, etc. are being kept under wraps due to concerns about spoilers.' Yet, Netflix has swiftly put these stories to bed, reports the Mirror. In a comment to Soompi, a Netflix spokesperson was quick to debunk the reports, saying: 'The rumours are completely 'false'. Reports of Leonardo DiCaprio's involvement in Squid Game Season 3 are entirely unfounded.' While fans may feel let down by this development, series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has indicated that season three won't spell the end for the franchise, offering a silver lining to those keen for more from the Squid Game universe. 'I know Netflix has a plan. They are not going to abandon this idea,' he informed The Wrap. The unfolding drama has given rise to an English-language adaptation to be helmed by renowned Hollywood director David Fincher; a project that made headlines in October 2024
