Squid Game season 3 ending explained
In the final episode of Squid Game season 3, the characters head to Los Angeles, where the frontman hands off Player 456's belongings and gold card.
Cate Blanchett then makes an appearance playing the role of The Recruiter. She was seen instructing a homeless person about playing the game of Ddakji. If he lost, he would be slapped brutally in the face.
Speaking of the Netflix show ending and Blanchett's cameo, Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed to the media portal, 'We shot our parts separately with just a camera going back and forth. In the end, we parted ways without even saying hi.'
He added, 'I actually saw her practicing it for quite a while on set.'
The actor continued to say, 'The game in Korea ended (spoiler) with Gi-hun's sacrifice, but I wanted to show that the game was still ongoing elsewhere and that the world had not changed that much. We wanted to say: this isn't really over. Plus, if it was totally wrapped up, our fans would be sad, and we wouldn't have a reason to come back.'
Squid Game season 3 is available to stream on Netflix.

'Eat the rich': Venice protests shadow Jeff Bezos' wedding
At least 500 protesters marched through Venice on Saturday, condemning Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's wedding to journalist Lauren Sanchez, a lavish affair that has drawn backlash in the historic Italian city. People hang a banner 'No Space for Bezos' on the Rialto Bridge during a protest a day after the wedding ceremony of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, on June 28, 2025.(AFP) "Bezos, out of the lagoon", the demonstrators chanted as they wound through the city centre, some brandishing signs that read: "Eat the rich", "Rejected", and accusations that Venice's mayor is "corrupt". The peaceful protest, held in sweltering heat, was led by the "No place for Bezos" group, which has campaigned for days against what it calls the couple's harmful economic and environmental footprint on the city. "We are here against what Bezos represents, his model, the Amazon model, based on exploiting people and land," said Alice Bazzoli, 24, an activist with "No Space for Bezos" who has lived in Venice for five years, speaking to AFPTV. Protesters later unfurled a large "No place for Bezos" banner and lit flares above the famous Rialto Bridge spanning the Grand Canal. Matteo Battistuta, a 20-year-old student, said he wanted to send the message that "Venice is fighting back, it's not a dead city, it acts in its own interest before tourism's". "We believe Venice can still be a place worth living in," he added. Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows during a ceremony Friday evening on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, opposite St Mark's Square. The ceremony capped off a week of yacht parties and VIP events, due to end with a lavish ball Saturday night -- as Venetians remain divided over the impact on the city's image. Guests included Ivanka Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, American football star Tom Brady, TV host Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates.
