First look at Squid Game Season 3 along with what to except: A chilling glimpse at the final game

Season 3 picks up right where the second season left off, diving deep into the moral turmoil of Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). As he grapples with overwhelming despair, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is plotting his next ruthless move, leading to even more intense and dire consequences for the remaining contestants. With each new round of deadly games, decisions will weigh heavier, and the stakes will escalate in ways that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Following the massive success of Squid Game Season 2, which broke records with 68 million views on its debut and became the third most-watched season on Netflix ever, the show is now gearing up for a thrilling conclusion. The wait between seasons will be shorter this time, as both Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back, giving fans a quicker return to the tense, high-stakes world they’ve come to love.

The newly released launch poster offers a chilling first glimpse of what’s to come. A pink-clad guard drags a bloodied contestant toward a coffin wrapped in a pink ribbon, a stark departure from the vibrant visuals of Season 2’s games. In its place is a menacing, flower-patterned floor, signalling the final round ahead. Additionally, the silhouettes of Young-hee and Cheol-su — characters hinted at in the post-credit scene of Season 2 — tease darker challenges on the horizon.

As the next and possibly ultimate chapter of Squid Game unfolds, Season 3 promises to deliver a grand finale. The final game is set, and it’s only a matter of time before it begins, streaming on June 27.
