The much-anticipated trailer for the third and final season of 'Squid Game' has finally dropped, offering a gripping glimpse into the conclusion of Netflix’s global phenomenon. Returning as Player 456, Lee Jung-jae’s character Gi-hun is back with a mission—to bring down the game that destroyed his life, following the murder of his friend Jung-bae by the Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun, in Season 2.
Squid Game season 3 trailer out
In the two-minute teaser, Gi-hun is seen uncovering the harsh reality behind the Front Man’s true identity, In-ho, who deceived him by posing as a fellow contestant and ally in the previous season. While the audience has been aware of this twist, it’s a crushing revelation for Gi-hun.
One of the trailer’s most powerful moments shows Gi-hun yelling at the game’s guards: “Why didn’t you kill me? Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?” The guards forcibly restrain him as In-ho silently watches.
'Squid Game' first premiered on Netflix in September 2021, rapidly becoming a cultural and streaming sensation. The inaugural season ranks as the platform’s second most-watched series ever, with Season 2 following close behind as the third-most-viewed. Only Wednesday Season 1 has outpaced them in viewership, according to Variety.
