Squid Game Season 3 receives new trailer, 'It's time to play the final games'
ALBAWABA - Amid its June 27 release, Squid Game Season 3 just received a new gripping trailer showcasing a snippet of what fans should expect from the third season of Netflix's most anticipated K-drama. The renowned streaming service took to its socials and wrote to promote the upcoming sequel, "It's time to play the final games. Squid Game Season 3. June 27, only on Netflix." A fan took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote in excitement, "THIS IS SOO GOOD I CAN'T WAIT." Another added, "STOP SOME OF THESE CLIPS ARE SCARING ME, WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN." Caution: Spoilers ahead. Squid Game Season 3 receives a new trailer, 'It's time to play the final games' Squid Game season 3 will pick up from where season 2 left off, right after 'Young-il' betrayed his armed rebellion group by killing two allied players, executing those who surrendered, and then proceeded to kill Gi-hun's best friend, Jung-bae, in front of his eyes. While Gi-hun is yet to learn that his new "friend" Young-il is none other than the notorious masked Front Man (Hwang In-ho), fans hope that his identity is revealed at the beginning of season 3. A fan wrote on social media, "It will be interesting to see how Gi-hun picks himself up after experiencing such a traumatic event, especially after finding out that Young-il is the Front Man and is the culprit behind killing his best friend." (Squid Game: Season 3 | Official Teaser | Netflix) This will be the third and final season of Netflix's beloved K-drama. If you are searching for something to scratch the itch for dystopian survival thriller shows, we highly recommend giving Netflix's live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga 'Alice in Borderland' a watch. It's as gripping and intense as Squid Game and offers enough differences to make it stand out from similar shows in the genre.

'You' star Penn Badgley reads the Quran at night
Published May 4th, 2025 - 11:51 GMT ALBAWABA - In an exclusive interview with USA Today, "You" and former "Gossip Girl" star Penn Badgley revealed that his favorite nightstand book is the Holy Quran, going viral and sparking widespread debate on social media. The actor who recently ended his 7-year-long chapter with Netflix as a lead in one of the streaming platform's most-watched shows, "Your." USA Today asked Badgley what's on his nightstand in reference to the actor's career as a librarian in the show. Badgley replied, "Honestly, on my nightstand, I have the Quran, which sometimes I'll meditate on a passage from." He added, "You know what I just read that I thought, 'Everybody loves horror so much'? 'Dracula.' It's a good book." صرح نجم مسلسل "You" بين بادغلي: "اقرأ القليل من القران كل يوم قبل النوم حيث أشعر وقتها براحه نفسية كبيرة" 👀! — Celebs Arabic (@CelebsArabic) May 3, 2025 He added further that he's a fan of horror books, giving Dracula as an example. During the interview, the American actor was also asked about his diet/ workout routine, travel essentials, morning routine, and how he describes the perfect day in New York. While he stuck to the basics for his workout routine during filming, Penn Badgley followed a more challenging diet by going mostly vegetarian at the end of the season. Moreover, he described his morning routine as "comical" due to his children. Starring in Netflix's "You" really helped put Badgley on the map, for his impressive acting skills as a young man, who appears charming and kind at first, but slowly starts showing his true colors of his obsessive and stalker nature. Despite his excellent portrayal across the board, You's last season received mixed reactions from fans due to its finale, with many expressing their dissatisfaction. The finale currently sits at a 5.5/10 rating on IMDB. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
