Netflix is best known for its Korean reality shows like Single's Inferno and Culinary Class Wars, but if you're not also watching The Devil's Plan, you're missing out the most intense reality show of the year so far. Back in 2023 (just a few months after Physical: 100's debut), Netflix released the first season of its ultimate battle of wits, where the smartest celebrities and civilians in South Korea compete in mind-boggling puzzles for the chance of winning up to 500 million won. The Devil's Plan returned for season 2 in May 2025, and while fans were expecting another year of cutthroat strategy, no one expected for the show's new gameplay features to be so controversial.
The Devil's Plan season 2 was comprised of an unevenly-matched, frustrating battle between the dormitory squad and the prison squad, with both Korean and global fans criticizing the eventual winner, Jeong Hyun-gyu, who went home with 380 million won ($277,000). Still, now that the backlash has died down following the season 2 finale, many viewers are hoping that the reality series will get a chance to redeem itself in its next installment. Below, read on for everything we know about a possible The Devil's Plan season 3 so far.
