Netflix has dropped the highly anticipated trailer for the third and final season of its hit Korean drama series, Squid Game. Following a shocking cliffhanger at the end of Season 2, fans are eager to see how the story unfolds. The seasons were filmed back-to-back, originally conceived as a single narrative arc.
In the aftermath of Seong Gi-hun/Player 456’s (Lee Jung-jae) failed rebellion, which resulted in the tragic death of his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) at the hands of The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), the deadly games show no signs of mercy.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk hinted in a breakdown with Variety that Gi-hun will face a pivotal moment as Season 3 begins.
“He will not be the man he was in Season 2,” he stated, raising questions about Gi-hun’s state of mind and choices moving forward.
Will he continue his mission or succumb to despair?
Since its global release in December, Squid Game Season 2 shattered records, becoming Netflix’s most-viewed series in a single week and ranking as its third-most watched series overall, trailing only behind its predecessor and Wednesday. Returning cast members include Yim Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, Park Gyu-young, and Wi Ha-joon, as many from the main alliance survived.
