The global phenomenon Squid Game on Netflix is nearing its conclusion, and it is leaving audiences eager for more. The teaser for the third season of Hwang Dong-hyuk's critically lauded South Korean series has just been released, and it appears that the intense survival drama will conclude with a dramatic, gripping, and high-stakes finale. All episodes of the concluding season will be accessible for streaming at once starting June 27, 2025. Although Netflix has yet to make an official announcement, rumors suggest there will be six episodes.

Continuing from Season 2's cliffhanger

Season 3 picks up right after the shocking moments of Season 2, when an unfruitful rebellion left viewers facing an agonizing cliffhanger, and brings them back to the strange world of children's games where their lives are truly at stake. The teaser opens with a disturbing image of Lee Jung-jae's character, Seong Gi-hun, or Player 456, in a coffin from the Squid Game. Fans and fellow survivors are glad to witness that he is still alive, however.

Returning to the players' quarters, Gi-hun is determined in his goal to reveal the wicked game from the inside. The official Netflix synopsis indicates that this season "propels Gi-hun back into the cruel core of the games. " Gi-hun is tormented by the recollection of his dearest ally, Jung-bae, who met his end at the hands of the game's mysterious enforcer, the Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun. Astonishingly, it has been uncovered that the Front Man was involved in the rebellion while masquerading as Player 001.

Chilling new game

As a visual reference to the red X and blue O player voting system that was introduced in Season 2, the teaser showcases a frightening new game featuring an enormous gumball machine that dispenses red and blue balls. More psychological manipulation is imminent, as each ball appears to determine the player's subsequent challenge. At the conclusion of the clip, a baby's cry reverberates throughout the scene, fostering a disquieting ambiance that implies more malevolent and personal revelations are forthcoming.

Several familiar characters will return, including detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon [watch Midnight]) and the formidable Front Man, along with various players from previous rounds, such as Myung-gi (Player 333), Dae-ho (Player 388), Hyun-ju (Player 120), and many others. Also making a comeback is the mysterious pink guard No-eul.

Season 2 sets new records

Since it premiered on December 26, 2024, Season 2 has shattered all records for weekly viewership, even outdoing Season 1, which was the top performer on Netflix. This latest chapter continues Gi-hun's story from Season 2, where he went back into the games to take them down, leading into the jaw-dropping finale of Season 3 that sets the stage for what's next.

Although Season 3 wraps up Gi-hun's journey, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has suggested possibilities of spinoffs that might broaden the Squid Game universe. These could include prequels focused on the Front Man or the Recruiter (Gong Yoo [watch Guardian: The Lonely and Great God]) or even plots that explore events that occurred between the seasons.

The last season is set to be full of thrills and feels

Hwang and Kim Ji-yeon act as executive producers for Squid Game at Firstman Studio. The third season is escalating towards an exciting conclusion, teeming with tactics, tension, and the emotional stakes that brought the show its fame.

Despite the games still being underway, the endpoint is now within sight.
