The previous season ended with a cliffhanger after Player 456's attempt to challenge the game's creators didn't succeed. Now, everyone is eager to see what happens in the next instalment. Ahead of the release, cast members Lee Byung-hun, Park Sung-hoon, Lee Jung-jae and Kang Ae-sim, along with director Hwang Dong-hyuk, gathered to watch the new trailer and share their thoughts on it. One surprising moment was when T.O.P, who played Thanos in season 2, appeared with the other cast members. While it's still unclear if his character will return after his demise in the show, fans got excited just seeing him again. Reacting to the trailer, Lee Byung-hun, who plays Front Man, said, 'Wow, so handsome. Why do I look so sad? I think there will be people who get their questions answered by watching this trailer." Park Sung-hoon added, 'The trailer is more desperate, violent and heavy than season 2." Director Hwang Dong-hyuk shared the most insightful moments from Squid Game season 3. He said, 'The Mingle song was a big hit in season 2, so I put this jump rope song here as another attempt to make another hit song for season 3. There's a game set in the streets with a starry sky. I think that it's the most dramatic and impactful game from all seasons. Fans should prepare themselves before watching this game. It's funny to say it looks fun when I created the show. It's a well made trailer without revealing too much, but it contains all the elements from season 3 that invite curiosity and expectations. You'll see things that are beyond your expectations, which I promise fans with confidence." T.O.P's appearance added to the mystery about his potential return. The actor claimed, 'I, Thanos, don't know anything about Season 3. So I'm curious and excited." Squid Game Season 3 starts right after the shocking ending of Season 2. Gi-hun is feeling completely lost and broken, but the deadly games are not over. He is pulled back into the brutal world, where he must make tough choices to survive. The games are even more dangerous now and every decision the players make could lead to serious trouble or even death. At the same time, In-ho is back as the Front Man and continues running the games while welcoming the powerful VIP guests. His brother, Jun-ho, is still trying to find the hidden island where the games take place. But what he doesn't know is that someone close to him may be working against him. As the games go on, Gi-hun has to figure out what to do next. Squid Game season 3 also includes Wi Ha-jun, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Yang Dong-geun, Jo Yuri, Lee David, Roh Jae-won and Park Gyu-young. First Published: June 05, 2025, 15:34 IST

Dolly Parton Shuts The Door On Meghan Markle? Another PR Move Backfires For The Duchess Meghan Markle reportedly faced a major snub after country music legend Dolly Parton declined an invite to appear on her Netflix show With Love, Meghan. According to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, Dolly's team was allegedly 'livid' at the suggestion, viewing it as a calculated PR move to boost Meghan's credibility in the lifestyle space. Sources claim Parton wanted to protect her wholesome public image and felt Meghan was attempting to 'ride her goodwill' for clout. Journalist Maureen Callahan even joked that Dolly in Meghan's 'fake kitchen' would cause 'spontaneous combustion.' Despite the rejection, Netflix confirmed a second season of Meghan's show earlier this year. 2.1K views | 2 days ago
