Who died in Squid Game season 3? All the players and their brutal deaths
To recap, the second season sees Seong Gi-hun, who won the game in the first season, returns to the game in order to end it once and for all. He's joined by Hwang Jun-ho, a police officer who infiltrated the game to find his missing brother, only to discover his brother is the Front Man - the overseer of the game, who won a previous edition and, after doing so, lost his faith in humanity.
The third season returns to the set-up of the second season and, after a failed rebellion, takes the audience into a set of games of escalating danger as the future of the players hangs in the balance.
As is the nature of the game, the third season sees a huge number of mortalities among the players. So, if you're wondering who dies, we've got the full details (in order).
In the first episode of the third season, we deal with the aftermaths of the failed rebellion at the end of season 2. The majority of players who joined Gi-hun's strike team are confirmed as dead, this includes Oh Young-il (Player 001), Seon Han-nam (Player 015), Kwon Byeong-su (Player 047), Player 072, Player 145, Player 206, Player 324 and Park Jung-bae (Player 390). Cho Hyun-ju and Kang Dae-ho, however, have not been executed and remain alive.
Elsewhere in the episode, the pink guard No-eul kills the organ traffickers as part of her plan to save Gyeong-seok.
After forcing the doctor to stabilise Gyeong-seok in the last episode, No-eul kills him after Gyeong-seok recovers.
The second episode continues the deadly game of Hide and Seek begun in the first episode, which sees armed taggers hunting and killing hiders who are attempting to find and unlock exits with different types of keys.
Jun-hee goes into labour, with Hyun-ju (Player 120) helping her give birth. Myung-gi kills Hyun-ju despite her helping deliver his ex-girlfriend's baby.
Min-su is under the influence of Thanos's drugs and hallucinates that Seon-nyeo is Nam-gyu, killing her.
Dae-ho is killed by Gi-hun, who is looking to take revenge after he abandoned the revolt.
When Yong-sik attempts to kill Jun-hee, Geum-ja (who, let's remind you, is his mother) stabs him in order to thwart his efforts. Yong-sik is the killed by guards.
The eliminated players are killed by VIPs posing as soldiers.
Geum-ja pleads with Gi-hun to protect Jun-hee and her child, then commits suicide out of guilt for her role in her son's death.
Nam-gyu also dies after Min-Su throws Thanos's necklace (where he stashed his drugs, à la Cruel Intentions). Nam-gyu is experiencing withdrawal, so he jumps to catch it but instead falls to his death during the Jump Rope game.
Still in the Jump Rope game, Jun-hee (who has broken her angle) jumps off the ledge to her death after her baby is safely carried to the next round by Gi-hun.
Captain Park is shot with a harpoon by Jun-ho and admits he was "just following orders,' therefore confirming he was reporting to the Front Man.
No-eul kills the Officer after a tense confrontation where she forces him to destroy all records of Gyeong-seok's participation.
In the final game of Sky Squid Game, players push each other to their death.
Min-su dies in the first round, as his withdrawal symptoms from Thanos's drugs make him an easy target.
The remaining eight players kill each other in the following order: Player 336, Player 353, Player 203, Player 100 and Player 039.
Three then remain: Myung-gi, Gi-hun and the baby of Jun-hee, who took Jun-hee's place as Player 222.
This one is tense! Still in the Sky Squid Game, the final three players are engaged in a fight to the death in the show's finale.
When just Myung-gi, Gi-hun and the baby are left, Myung-gi (who, let us remind you, is the baby's father) attempts to kill the baby so that he can win the game. Gi-hun attacks Myung-gi, who falls to his death.
Due to the complicated rules of the game, which require you to press the button to officially start the button, Myung-gi's death doesn't count: amidst all the drama, no-one pressed the button.
Gi-hun then presses the button to start a new round and sacrifices himself so that the baby can live and become the show's winner.

Reese Witherspoon gets honest about raising kids while working in Hollywood
Reese Witherspoon is keeping it real when talking about her role as a working mom in Hollywood. The 49-year-old 'Cruel Intentions' actress shares two kids — daughter Ava Phillippe, 25, and son Deacon Phillippe, 21 — with her former co-star Ryan Phillippe, according to People. She's also a mom to 12-year-old son Tennessee James Toth, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth. On Aug. 14, Witherspoon took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos of her and her kids while opening up about the reality of 'what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like.' Her candid memories included 'spending a lot of time in trailers together' and 'always being on the road together.' She also praised her kids for 'constantly giving me career advice,' which included a screenshot of Deacon notifying her that she 'butt-dialed an Instagram live' in a text message. But by the fifth slide, she started to detail some of the not-so-good memories — and how she learned to overcome them. 'It looked really hard sometimes. I'd cry working 14 to 17 hours, sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool,' she wrote of her work-life balance. 'I was deliriously tired.' She also shared that she would often 'say something positive about work' in hopes that her kids would see that her work was meaningful and fun. 'In conclusion, even though it was challenging at times, having kids gave me perspective about what was important in life,' she wrote in the final slide. 'Nothing was better than getting to come home and hug them and hear about their day,' she added. She further described it as a 'beautiful, messy journey' in the caption — adding that she feels 'grateful to stand alongside' other working moms. Many of Witherspoon's fans took to the comment section to praise the actress for being honest about her experience as a working mom. 'Proof that whether you're a famous actress, or an office manager (like me) working moms are more alike than we are different,' one fan wrote. 'You were bringing home the bacon and raising two beautiful children. Doing it all. I call that a mighty strong woman,' another fan commented. On the flip side, other followers were hesitant to label Witherspoon a true working mom. 'I am a huge fan of Reese. But, she cannot compare herself to the average working Mom. She has a housekeeper, a chef, a Gardner etc,' one fan argued. 'The average Mom has to go home and complete these tasks and take care of the kids. No Comparison,' the fan continued. 'You had the privilege of bringing them into your world while at work while most working mothers do not have that privilege,' another fan wrote. 'I'm not saying you weren't tired or didn't have guilt over working but your life is VERY different from a lot of mothers,' her follower continued. Witherspoon started her career as a teenager and received her breakthrough in 1999 when she starred in 'Cruel Intentions' alongside then-husband Phillippe. The pair welcomed daughter Ava that same year, per ABC News, followed by son Deacon in 2003. Both Ava and Deacon have since followed in their parents' footsteps. Reese Witherspoon's third child didn't come until nine years later when she and then-husband Jim Toth welcomed son Tennessee, per the outlet.

Why Netflix's (NFLX) 85% Rally Isn't Done Yet
Over the past year, Netflix (NFLX) shares have appreciated 82%, prompting the question of whether further upside remains. The company's performance has been supported by a robust content pipeline, rapid expansion of its advertising business, and strategic deployment of generative AI capabilities. In addition, Netflix is generating substantial free cash flow, benefiting from economies of scale and the early success of its high-margin advertising tier. Given the stock's current valuation, the key consideration for investors is whether the growth trajectory justifies continued investment. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Momentum That Just Won't Quit Netflix delivered a strong second quarter, reporting revenue of $11.08 billion, up 16% year-over-year and slightly ahead of Wall Street's $11.07 billion consensus. Growth was driven by continued member acquisition, higher subscription pricing, and rapid expansion of the advertising business. While the company no longer discloses exact subscriber counts, management noted that membership growth accelerated late in the quarter, particularly in international markets, supported by anticipated releases such as the Squid Game and Stranger Things season finales. The advertising segment remains a key growth driver, with revenue on pace to double in 2025. This momentum is supported by the full deployment of Netflix's proprietary ad tech platform, which streamlines media buying for brands. The introduction of a redesigned user interface—now implemented on 50% of TV devices—has improved content discovery and engagement, increasing both viewing time and advertiser appeal. Content continues to be a strategic differentiator. Netflix is investing heavily in globally resonant titles, including Alice in Borderland and the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2. Its partnership with France's TF1 is expected to strengthen local content production, particularly in the European market. The company's gaming initiative is also gaining traction, with early success from cult-classic titles such as Grand Theft Auto enhancing platform stickiness. Overall, Netflix continues to demonstrate the ability to drive growth and innovation, even at a more mature stage of its business lifecycle. Turning into a Cash Flow Powerhouse Turning to profitability—particularly free cash flow—Netflix generated $2.3 billion in Q2, representing a 91% year-over-year increase. Management also raised its full-year FCF guidance to $8.0–$8.5 billion. This level of cash generation reflects the benefits of significant economies of scale. With more than 300 million paid memberships globally, the cost to serve each subscriber declines as the base expands, enabling a greater share of revenue to translate into earnings. While content amortization is projected to exceed $16 billion in 2025, robust subscriber growth helps distribute these costs more efficiently. The advertising segment is further enhancing cash flow, as incremental ad revenue carries minimal associated costs once the global ad tech platform is in place. Each additional advertising dollar contributes disproportionately to profitability. Operational efficiency gains from generative AI—such as accelerating and reducing the cost of visual effects—are also supporting margin expansion. These factors allowed Q2 operating margins to reach 34.1%, an improvement of nearly seven percentage points compared with the prior year, while still enabling sustained investment in premium content. Is the Price Tag Worth It? Now, at 45x this year's expected EPS, Netflix's isn't a bargain, as the company is trading at a steep premium compared to the broader market. But then again, Netflix's dominance makes it hard to call it overpriced. Over the years, they've faced heavyweights like Apple (AAPL), Disney (DIS), and Amazon (AMZN), who've dumped billions into streaming to chip away at Netflix's lead. Yet, Netflix keeps growing like a weed, with revenue up double-digits quarter after quarter and EPS expected to climb at least 20% per year for the foreseeable future. And while Disney and Amazon have gained ground, Netflix's global reach, brand loyalty, and content machine keep it ahead. Their 'local for local' strategy, which revolves around producing hits in markets like Japan, Korea, and now France via TF1, gives them an edge no one can match. What is the 12-Month Forecast for NFLX stock? There are 38 analysts offering price targets on NFLX stock via TipRanks, with a fairly bullish consensus. Today, the stock carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 26 Buy, 11 Hold, and one Sell rating over the past three months. NFLX's average stock price target of $1,394.23 suggests ~13% upside over the next twelve months. NFLX Transitions from Disruptor to Dominant Leader Netflix has transitioned from industry disruptor to dominant market leader, while continuing to uncover new growth avenues. Its advertising tier is scaling rapidly, globally resonant content is attracting new audiences, and free cash flow is reaching levels previously thought unattainable. While the stock trades at a premium, businesses combining this degree of growth and profitability seldom come at a discount. For investors seeking a company with a proven ability to adapt, innovate, and maintain a competitive edge, Netflix remains a compelling proposition.
