The Devil’s Plan: Dead Again, the third season of Netflix’s cult Korean strategy competition, premieres Tuesday, November 10, 2026, streaming only on Netflix. New episodes go live at Netflix’s standard release time of 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET, and all you need to watch from the United States is a Netflix subscription, which starts at $8.99 a month for the ad-supported plan.
If you have never seen the show, think of it as a brainier, meaner cousin of Survivor: a group of contestants is locked inside a sprawling set for days on end, playing elaborate games of logic, probability, and betrayal for a cash prize. Here is exactly how, when, and for how much you can watch Season 3.
Where and when to watch
- Platform: Netflix (exclusive)
- Premiere date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026
- Release time: 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET
- Price: From $8.99/month (Standard with ads) in the US; $19.99 (Standard) and $26.99 (Premium) without ads

The season is subtitled Dead Again, and Netflix has confirmed it as a worldwide release, meaning US subscribers get it the same day as viewers in South Korea.
When do new episodes come out?
Season 3 begins on November 10th, and — as with the first two seasons — The Devil’s Plan is expected to roll out in weekly batches rather than dropping all at once. That means the premiere delivers the opening set of episodes, with further installments arriving on a weekly cadence over the following weeks. Netflix has not published the full episode-by-episode calendar, so treat any date beyond the November 10 launch as unconfirmed until the streamer posts it.
This staggered format is part of why the show generates so much week-to-week chatter online: unlike a typical binge drop, viewers have time to dissect each round, argue over strategy, and turn on their favorite players before the next batch lands.
What is The Devil’s Plan?
Created by producer Jung Jong-yeon, the mind behind Netflix’s hit The Genius, The Devil’s Plan drops a cast of strategists, entertainers, and specialists into a closed environment where they compete in daily main matches and nightly side games. Players earn and lose tokens that determine who survives each elimination, and alliances form and collapse almost hourly. It is a show about reading people as much as solving puzzles — the reason it has built a devoted following well beyond Korea.
Season 3 keeps the format but reshuffles the field, bringing in 16 new competitors for a fresh run of mind games. Expect the same mix of genuine intellectual challenges and ruthless social maneuvering that made the earlier seasons must-watch television for fans of the genre.
Is it worth watching?
For fans of cerebral competition, it is one of the best things on Netflix. The Devil’s Plan rewards close attention: the games are genuinely solvable if you follow the logic, the social dynamics are unpredictable, and the editing treats viewers like adults rather than spoon-feeding every twist. It sits comfortably alongside global hits like The Traitors and Physical: 100 as proof that the smartest reality TV right now is coming out of South Korea. If you bounced off louder, flashier formats, this is the thinking person’s alternative.
Who is in the cast?
The 16-player lineup blends familiar faces from Korean entertainment with returning strategists. It is led by comedian Jang Dong-min, nicknamed the “God of Survival” for his track record on competition shows. The roster also includes actor Ha Seok-jin, a fan favorite from the original season; StarCraft legend Hong Jin-ho; Super Junior’s Shindong; singer John Park; musician Stella Jang; and rapper Nucksal, among others. The variety of backgrounds is deliberate — the show thrives on pitting analytical thinkers against charismatic performers.
How to watch from the US
Because The Devil’s Plan: Dead Again is a Netflix original, there is no cable package, add-on, or separate purchase involved: a standard Netflix subscription is all you need. If you want to prepare, both previous seasons — the original The Devil’s Plan and its follow-up, The Devil’s Plan: Death Room — are streaming now on Netflix in the US, so you can catch up on the format before Season 3 begins.
