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.
