Three seasons, three wins. Netflix's global phenomenon Squid Game has once again dominated the international stage, securing its third consecutive win at the Critics Choice Awards with its final installment.
Squid Game Season 3 Critics Choice Awards: Maintaining Global Supremacy
According to Yonhap News, the Critics Choice Association announced Squid Game Season 3 as the winner of the Best Foreign Language Series at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles on January 4, 2026. This victory marks a legendary streak, following honors for the first season in 2022 and the second in 2025.
The final season picks up from the second season's cliffhanger, tracking Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae)'s desperate attempt to dismantle the deadly game from the inside. Lee Jung-jae, who previously won Best Actor in 2022, delivered a powerful performance that anchored the series until its conclusion.
Wider K-Content Nominations and Mixed Results
While Squid Game celebrated, other Korean contenders faced tough competition. Director Park Chan-wook's film 'No Other Choice' was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film but lost to Brazil's 'The Secret Agent.' Results for Best Adapted Screenplay and categories involving 'KPop Demon Hunters' are still pending.
