The Season 3 finale further fueled excitement when Cate Blanchett made a surprise cameo. In a brief but intriguing moment, she appeared performing a role similar to Gong Yoo’s iconic cameo in the Korean series, approaching potential contestants and recruiting them for the sinister games.

After the release of the show, Dong Hyuk told Variety, “All I wanted to have was just an impactful ending, and that’s all that was to it. Honestly, I haven’t heard officially from Netflix about David Fincher creating a Squid Game. I have heard the rumours, of course, though. But again, it was just the ending that I wanted for season 3. I’ve always been a big fan of Cate Blanchett, and all of my producers are as well. They really wanted her. As for offering the role to the particular actor, that happened after we began shooting.”
Squid Game America will reportedly release in late 2028.
