It’s time to play one last time. Netflix has released the first trailer for the third and final season of its blockbuster Korean drama series “Squid Game,” which ended Season 2 on a major cliffhanger. The seasons were filmed back-to-back and originally written as one long story arc.
After Seong Gi-hun/Player 456’s (Lee Jung-jae) rebellion within the games failed, leading to the death of his best friend, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), at the hands of The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) — who had posed as a fake player in the games — it appears the deadly childhood games are continuing with no remorse.
In a Season 2 finale breakdown with Variety, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk teased that viewers will “meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as we begin the third season. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in Season 2.” He also floated the questions, “What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist?”
After releasing worldwide in December, “Squid Game” Season 2 became Netflix’s most-viewed series in a single week and currently stands as the streaming platform’s third-most watched series ever, just behind “Squid Game” Season 1 and “Wednesday.” In addition to the main actors, returning cast members include Yim Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, Park Gyu-young and Wi Ha-joon, since most of the main alliance survived the rebellion.
“Squid Game” Season 3 releases June 27 on Netflix. Watch the trailer below.
