Squid Game Season 3 Trailer: A Baby, A Betrayal And The Most Brutal Games Yet
New Delhi:
The trailer of Squid Game Season 3 is finally here, and it looks like the darkest, most emotionally intense chapter yet. The final season teases a chilling showdown between Player 456, Seong Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man-one that fans have been anticipating since the shocking end of Season 2.
The trailer opens with a haunting new version of the infamous "Red Light, Green Light" game, immediately reminding viewers of the terror that started it all.
Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) is still reeling from the death of his friend Jung Bae and is seen confronting the guards, repeatedly asking, "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?" His desperation is met with silence and the Front Man's trademark unsettling smile.
What follows is a montage of new, deadlier games, one of them bringing back the fear of heights that was missing in Season 2. The creepy giant doll Young Hee returns, but with a twist, possibly playing a new role.
The trailer also shows a twisted take on the old Tug of War game from Season 1, now seemingly more brutal and psychologically disturbing.
Among the most talked-about moments is the return of the eerie children's room teased in posters, its walls covered in what look like crayon drawings.
The imagery hints at a disturbing subplot involving an unborn baby, possibly the one connected to Yim Si-wan's character, who may become the ultimate test for the remaining players' humanity.
Gi-hun's face-off with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is a central focus. In a tense exchange, the masked leader asks him, "Player 456, do you still have faith in people?"
Squid Game Season 3 is set to premiere on June 27, 2025, on Netflix. The show is created, written, directed and produced by Hwang Dong-hyuk, who has been at the helm since its inception.
The cast this season includes Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun, Lee Byung-hun as the Front Man/In-ho, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-jun, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Jo Yuri, Lee David and Roh Jae-won.
Originally debuting in September 2021, Squid Game became a global cultural phenomenon. Season 1 remains Netflix's second most-watched show of all time, while Season 2, released in December 2024, is now the platform's third most-watched. The only Netflix show with higher viewership is Wednesday Season 1.

Prince Harry ‘Feels Alone' In California With Meghan Markle, Misses UK Friends: Report
Last Updated: The Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely,' largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. Prince Harry may be living in a $14 million Italian-style mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children but behind the gates life is far from idyllic for the former royal family member, it was reported. NewsNation reported, citing unnamed sources, the Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely," largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for polo star Nacho Figueras, and Nacho travels constantly for matches," a friend told the outlet, adding, 'He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards." Prince Harry is said to remain close with a few of his inner circle from the UK, including Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer but the distance and time zone differences make regular contact difficult. The source said as per the outlet, 'There's no one else for him to hang out with besides Nacho, Meghan, and the children." The UK royal's social circle has narrowed since stepping back from official duties and relocating to the US in 2020, the report claimed, citing a friend who said, 'It's hard to forge deep friendships when you're older especially when you're wary of people leaking things to the press." Another source compared Prince Harry's exile-like existence to that of his great-great-uncle Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love and lived out his days abroad with Wallis Simpson. 'It's like history is repeating itself," the friend said. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have remained in the public eye through Netflix deals, books and public appearances. Although behind the scenes, Prince Harry is also said to have been frustrated over delays in securing British passports for his children, Archie and Lilibet. 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together," a source told People Magazine. First Published: June 06, 2025, 21:08 IST
