It begins with Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), unconscious inside a black gift box—the same kind used to transport the deceased in earlier seasons—before being unveiled by stunned onlookers. The games have resumed, and Gi-hun finds himself once again caught in their vicious cycle. As he screams, 'Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?' the trailer sets the stage for a deeper psychological unraveling. Season 2 ended with Gi-hun's attempted rebellion thwarted, his friend Jung-bae executed by the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) as a warning. Season 3 picks up in the aftermath, with Gi-hun reentering the arena, more determined than ever to dismantle the deadly institution from within. The tension between him and the Front Man builds to a head, culminating in a confrontation where the latter coldly asks, 'Do you still believe in people?' — NetflixIndia (@NetflixIndia) The trailer reintroduces several returning characters including the detective Hwang Jun-ho, Hyun-ju, Geum-ja, and pink guard No-eul.

His journey leads him closer to In-ho, also known as the Front Man, whose identity as the former champion turned orchestrator has only deepened the betrayal. The trailer suggests a final showdown between the two is inevitable—one that may either put an end to the deadly spectacle or perpetuate its legacy. Adding more intrigue is the return of In-ho's brother, Jun-ho, who continues his mission to uncover the secrets of the game's headquarters. As VIPs are once again welcomed into the bloody circus, the internal power struggle appears ready to erupt. The final season features an expanded cast alongside returning stars.
