The games are not over yet! Netflix has debuted a teaser trailer for the third and final season of Squid Game, the Emmy-winning sensation from South Korean creator Hwang Dong-hyuk that has made “Red Light, Green Light” cool again.
“I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season,” Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a statement posted by Tudum. “The fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man’s] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.”
Of course, Lee Jung-jae returns as Gi-hun, joined by Lee Byung-hun, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-jun, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Jo Yu-ri, Chae Kuk-hee, Lee David, Roh Jae-won, Jun Suk-ho, Park Hee-soon.
Here’s the synopsis: A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2’s bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix’s most popular series finds Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there’s a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?
Personally, I’m struggling to get through season two which has been kinda dull. Hopefully, the series can wrap up with the same creative energy that hooked us all back in 2021.
Squid Game season three hits Netflix on June 27th.
