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.

While Squid Game celebrated, other Korean contenders faced tough competition.
