Netflix's 'Squid Game' Season 3 Official Trailer Is All About Life-Or-Death Choices
Summary
Netflixhas released the official trailer for the highly anticipated third and final season ofSquid Game. The first full-length trailer for the series was unveiled at Netflix Tudum 2025, following theinitial teaserrevealed in early May.
The trailer and official synopsis confirm the continuation of the intense conflict between protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). It shows Gi-hun returning to the games, seemingly at his lowest point, while new and deadlier games commence, including a gumball machine game that divides players into red and blue teams. The cast, including Wi Ha-jun, Im Si-wan, and Kang Ha-neul, are all set to return, with the series creators promising a shocking conclusion to Gi-hun's journey. The creatorHwang Dong-hyuktellsTudum, 'The new season will focus on what Gi-hun can and will do after all his efforts fail. He is in utter despair after losing everything and watching all his efforts go in vain. The story then takes an interesting turn, questioning whether Gi-hun can overcome his shame and rise again to prove that values of humanity — like conscience and kindness — can exist in the arena.' The third season picks up right after the Season 2 finale, which saw Gi-hun lead a rebellion against the puppet masters of Squid Game. Unfortunately, the coup failed and many died in the process.
The final season is officially set to premiere globally on Netflix on June 27, 2025. This relatively short wait between seasons is due to seasons 2 and 3 reportedly being filmed simultaneously.

Ralph Macchio's Secret Talent That Played a Key Role in His 'Karate Kid' Success
Ralph Macchio showed off some tap dancing moves on Live with Kelly and Mark The Karate Kid star told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos his tap skills could help with karate moves Macchio stars in the latest installment of the Karate Kid universe, Karate Kid: LegendsRalph Macchio is a man of many talents — acting, karate, and ... tap dancing! While the Karate Kid: Legends star opened up about his childhood on Friday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, such as how he worked for his father's laundromat growing up, he also revealed a unique skill that helped with his famous Karate Kid roles. "I wanted to be Gene Kelly," Macchio told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos of taking tap dancing classes as a kid. "My mom and I used to watch the old movie musicals when I was a kid." "That's where I sort of [was] bit with the bug of wanting to perform," Macchio added, noting that the choreography skills he learned for tap could transfer to karate moves. "One, you point your toes, and the other, you flex." With a little encouragement from Ripa and Consuelos, the Cobra Kai actor got up and showed a few tap moves. Despite Macchio feeling his skills were a little rough, Ripa and Consuelos plus the audience applauded for seeing the original Karate Kid in action. After recently wrapping the sixth and final season of Netflix's Karate Kid spinoff series Cobra Kai, Macchio reprises his role of Daniel LaRusso for the latest installment of the Karate Kid franchise — Karate Kid: Legends. The film also stars Jackie Chan's Mr. Han, who appeared in the 2010 Karate Kid remake, and new protagonist Li Fong (played by Ben Wang). Macchio told PEOPLE at the New York City premiere of Karate Kid: Legends that the sixth film of the martial arts franchise "has different [and] more of like an early Jackie Chan movie style, a Hong Kong style." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "The fight [scenes], the cameras are really wide lenses inside the fights. There's humor laced throughout and there was always humor in the Karate Kid films, but the original films we made was kind of cinema magic, very romantic," Macchio said. "Wide, long takes, dialogue scenes that breathe. This is a quicker pace for this generation, but laced with humor, excitement, next level martial arts and Ben Wang is a rock star in the movie." "And the reason I'm in this movie is to pay that legacy forward," Macchio added. "Shedding a little piece of Miyagi forward. It's never the wrong thing to do in Daniel LaRusso's eyes and in Ralph Macchio's eyes." Karate Kid: Legends is now playing in theaters. Read the original article on People

Clothing sale will be ‘largest Princess Diana auction ever'
An auction featuring more than 200 items will be the 'largest Princess Diana auction ever', according to its director. Julien's Auctions' Princess Diana's Style And A Royal Collection live sale will take place on Thursday June 26 and will include clothing worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, with the aim of celebrating her style and preserving her legacy. Items include a silk floral printed day dress designed by Bellville Sassoon, estimated to fetch between 200,000 and 300,000 US dollars (£148,000 to £222,000), and an embroidered evening gown, designed by Catherine Walker, with the same estimated selling price. Martin Nolan, co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told the PA news agency: 'This is the largest Princess Diana auction ever. Diana herself did an auction in 1997 to raise money for charity, sadly two months before we tragically lost Diana. 'So now we have over 100 items representing her amazing life and her career, and of course, she's the mum of the future king of England, Prince William, so we have really iconic outfits. 'Diana was a style icon, she knew what to wear, when to wear it, what was appropriate, she knew how to send a message by what she was wearing. 'She was very shy, but she knew by the items of clothing, it became sort of her uniform if you will and, of course, with all the amazing power suits you see behind me, the message she sent. 'She knew how to dress when she went on a royal visit to Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates, and when she was going to a hospital, she knew to wear bright colours that sick children would feel that she was likeable, huggable, approachable, and she brought hope wherever she went.' Up for auction will be a collection of clothes and artefacts from British royal history, including items that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family, some dating as far back as the 19th century. Nolan said the market for items relating to Diana had increased thanks to Netflix series The Crown. He said: 'The Crown certainly has introduced Diana to a whole new younger generation, and they relate to her and they love her, and they love her style, they love her innocence, they love her sense of fun. 'They love her messaging, and they love what she had to live through, the challenges she had to deal with, and she overcame them all, and so it's a success story. 'Sad ending, of course, but like the younger generation loved that, and that's why Diana's prices have been impacted so much, and are increasing more and more.' Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed a number of items of clothing for Diana, including her wedding dress, said: 'When Diana first came to us for all of these dresses, she didn't have a lot of ideas of her own, because fashion wasn't her number one subject 'She didn't really take much of an interest in it, and we were very lucky to have been involved with her at the beginning, when she was developing her own style. 'And then over the years, you could see her being more and more confident in what she was wearing and knowing her own style, so we were very lucky to have been there in the formative years.' Julien's Auctions held a sale of Diana's items last year, billed as the most extensive collection of Diana's personal belongings since 1997. The auction house previously sold one of Diana's gowns for 1.14 million US dollars (£843,000) and a pair of her shoes for 390,000 US dollars (£288,000). The live auction will take place at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, California, in the US, on Thursday June 26. A portion of the sale of the Diana items will benefit Muscular Dystrophy UK.
