The Story Continues
In the new season, fans can expect the story to pick up from the dramatic ending of season two. According to Netflix, the plot will follow Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, as he continues his quest to dismantle the deadly game.
The Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun, is also set to make his next move. The remaining players will face even more dangerous consequences with each round.
New Teaser and Poster
Netflix has also released a chilling new poster for season three, featuring the tagline, “Prepare for the final game.” The artwork hints at a more intense and brutal finale.
It showcases the sinister silhouettes of Young-hee and her companion Cheol-su, characters previously teased in season two’s post-credit scene.
Crew Behind the Show
Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series creator, returns as both writer and director for the final season. He had originally envisioned Squid Game as a three-season story. However, he has not completely dismissed the idea of a future spinoff.
“I was saying there was never going to be another season,” Hwang told The Hollywood Reporter during season two’s launch. “If the time comes, and I come up with a character or a different story, then maybe there might be a comeback. But I’m thinking more along the lines of a spinoff,” he added.
What Lies Ahead for Fans
Fans will need to wait until June 27, 2025, to discover how the gripping story of Squid Game comes to an end. The anticipation is building, and many are eager to see what twists and turns await them in the final season.
