Netflix has really amazed its audience by the start of this year. It’s been said that two of the three most-watched Netflix shows will come to an end this year. To celebrate the first day of 2025, the streaming giant shared on X/Twitter an edit teasing the return of three of its most-watched shows: Squid Game, Wednesday and Stranger Things.
“Your 3 favorite shows are coming back this year. Welcome to 2025,” says the caption.
The clip opened with a shot of Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams before evolving to the cast of Stranger Things, as a voice narration states: “It’s happening. Something is coming.”
A scene of Squid Game’s Front Man is then featured before the message: “In 2025, the 3 biggest shows ever will return,” flashes across the screen.
No date is announced for any show yet, but the audience can be assured that their favorite shows will be released soon.
Squid Game
The Korean language action-packed story, which is Netflix’s most-watched series ever following its debut in 2021, is going to make a thrilling return with its third and final season sometime this year.
The popular series, featuring hundreds of financially struggling contestants battling through deadly games for a transformative cash prize, launched its second season on December 26. The show’s mastermind, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has teased fans with a preview of what lies ahead in the upcoming episodes.
He further explained that he initially intended to write the second season story across a duration of about eight to nine episodes, Hwang told Variety that “once I finished the story, it came to over 10 episodes, which I thought was too long to contain in a single season.”
“So, I wanted to have an adequate point where I could give closure as a second season and then move on with the third,” he shared.
Speaking about Squid Game’s lead character, Seong Gi-Hun/Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), and the obstacles he faced in season two, Hwang said the new season will pick up with him “having that sense of huge guilt and sense of failure weighing heavily on him.” “How is Gi-Hun going to carry on his mission? That’s the story that’ll further unfold,” he added.
Wednesday
Starring Jenna Ortega as the morbid, young Wednesday Addams, Wednesday surpassed Stranger Things to become Netflix’s most-streamed English language show when it premiered in 2022.
Season two of the series — which follows the dark adventures of Wednesday as she seeks to master her emerging psychic abilities and solve the mystery that involved her parents 25 years ago — will be “darker and more complex,” showrunners and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar, revealed.
This season is going to be bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Wednesday’s mom, Morticia Addams, additionally previewed.
Stranger Things
Netflix’s original big-hit series, Stranger Things, is coming to an end after five successful seasons. The sci-fi show — led by Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo about a group of friends seeking answers to the paranormal mysteries plaguing their fictional Indiana town — was first released on the streamer in 2016.
The show later went on to break Netflix streaming records before ultimately being outclassed by Wednesday.
The series’ creators Matt and Ross Duffer previously said they had written a 25-page document during season one that detailed the lore and mythology of the Upside Down.
“We were like, ‘We know what’s going on in the Upside Down, more or less, but we want it to be unknowable. We want it to be mysterious,’ ” Matt explained. “But they were like, ‘Yeah, but can you write it down?’ And so we wrote it all down.”
