‘Squid Game' Season 3: Netflix releases teaser trailer ahead of final season's premiere
Netflix has released the full trailer for Squid Game Season 3, setting the stage for the final chapter of the global hit series.
The preview, released on May 5, opens with a black coffin wheeled into the dormitory. Inside is Seong Gi-hun, who awakens, later seen handcuffed and disoriented, hinting at his critical role in the new phase of the games.
One of the new games is introduced through a giant gumball machine filled with red and blue balls. Players are shown turning a dial to draw a colour as the focus shifts to the emotional fallout for Geum-ja and her son Yong-sik after they draw opposing colours.
The teaser also features cryptic imagery, including players receiving boxes with stacked circle, triangle and square symbols — possibly a clue to the next challenge.
Other highlights include masked VIPs at a banquet table, and Guard 11 sneaking through ventilation shafts. Detective Hwang Jun-ho returns with a drawn weapon, suggesting a long-awaited confrontation with the Front Man is near. The trailer concludes with Player 222 shedding a tear as a baby cries.
Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix on June 27, 2025.

'Squid Game' recap: Everything to remember ahead of Season 3 launch
Netflix's global hit Squid Game returns for its third and final season today. Ahead of the highly anticipated release, here are the key developments from Season 2 that fans need to remember, which expanded the story beyond the original deadly contest. Season 2 followed Seong Gi-hun as he launched his own search for the game's architect, sending henchmen to locate the mysterious Recruiter. A tense face-off ended with the Recruiter's death in a rigged game of Russian roulette, revealing deeper corruption in the system. Meanwhile, detective Jun-ho resumed his investigation, uncovering Gi-hun's headquarters and chasing fresh leads on the island's location. The series also introduced new perspectives. Kang No-eul, a North Korean defector, entered the games disguised as a guard in hopes of finding her daughter. A crypto scammer, a shaman, and a mother-son duo were among the desperate contestants caught in a web of betrayal and shifting alliances. Games like the Six-Legged Pentathlon initially fostered cooperation, but the structure quickly collapsed under pressure, with non-game violence escalating tensions. An attempted rebellion by Gi-hun and allies inside the dormitory was short-lived, culminating in the Front Man infiltrating their ranks and killing Jung-bae. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk has teased a 'hopeful' but emotionally intense finale. As viewers prepare for the concluding chapter, Season 2's expanding narrative and psychological complexity set the stage for what may be the series' most dramatic turn yet. Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix at 12 am PT / 3 am ET.

Court issues new orders against Liver King following release after Joe Rogan threats
Brian Johnson, known as the "Liver King," has been released from jail after posting a $20,000 bond following his arrest on charges of making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan. Johnson, 47, was arrested on June 24 in Austin, Texas, after police contacted Rogan, who expressed concern over Johnson's online posts, which he believed were threatening. Johnson's arrest took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, where he was booked for a terroristic threat causing fear of imminent bodily harm. In addition to posting bond, Johnson is subject to a restraining order that requires him to stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family members. The court also mandated that Johnson undergo a mental health evaluation within a week of his release (Travis County Court records). Despite the legal trouble, Johnson resumed posting on Instagram, where he has 3 million followers, and continued to claim that he wanted to fight Rogan. In one video, Johnson said, 'We came here to pick a fight, and we're gonna do it,' further addressing Rogan with, 'I would love to man-to-man challenge you to a fucking fight. No one's going to die. But I hope we'll both get hurt.' Johnson even made a joke about his conflict being with actor Seth Rogen, while also revealing that he was wearing an ankle bracelet and had a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The situation stems from comments Rogan made on his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' where he criticized Johnson's steroid use and mocked his 'ancestral diet.' Despite this, Rogan told the police he had never interacted with Johnson before, and it's unclear what motivated Johnson's public feud. Johnson's controversy further escalated with the release of Netflix's documentary, "Untold: The Liver King," which exposed his steroid use after promoting an all-natural, ancestral lifestyle online.
