Netflix has released a new trailer forSquid Gameseason 3, which serves as the final installment of the hit Korean TV series. Filmed back-to-back with its predecessor,Squid Gameseason 3 will, in more ways than one, be the second part of season 2. While it is both strange and intriguing that Netflix chose to label season 3 as a separate installment instead of calling it a second chapter in season 2’s narrative, the two seasons' continuous filming has significantly reduced the waiting time for season 3’s release.
As the trailer confirms,Squid Gameseason 3is all set to premiere on Netflix on June 05, 2025, only six months after season 2’s release. The trailer’s opening scene seemingly features a new version of the iconic"Red Light, Green Light" game. In the sequence that follows, Gi-hun confronts the guards and asks them why they have kept him alive. After suggesting that many main players will meet a brutal fate in the final set of games, the trailer’s ending hints thatGi-hun will finally come face to face with the Front Man and learn about his true identity.
What Squid Game Season 3’s Trailer Means For The Netflix Show
The Trailer Hints At A Brutal Finale
Squid Gameseason 3 trailer’s opening moments suggest that Gi-hun will be haunted by Jung-bae’s death and the fact that he was spared by the Front Man while his friend was murdered before his eyes. The remaining survivingplayers fromSquid Gameseason 2will eventually be forced to play a whole new set of games, withone game bringing a new twisted spin on “Red Light, Green Light.“This new game will still have the giant terrifying doll, Young-hee, but seemingly in a different role from the original game from seasons 1 and 2.
The trailer also hints that season 3 will introduce a new version of season 1’s Tug of War game, but the details and overarching rules of this one remain shrouded. One of the most intriguing developments in the trailer suggests that Gi-hun will also be given the opportunity to sit with the Front Man. Since season 2’s early moments, the Front Man has been trying to convince him that the games only reflect the dark world they live in. In the trailer, he asks him if he still has faith in people. Gi-hun’s response to the Front Man will likely determinewhether he will live on as a villain or die as a hero.
As Gi-hun walks towards the Front Man in the trailer,he also dons the finalists' outfit. This suggests that he will watch many fellow players die before finally learning about how In-ho betrayed him. It is hard not to wonder if Gi-hun will lose his last bits of humanity and shake hands with In-ho or set out to completely stop the games again before it is too late.
