New Squid Game trailer teases third and final season
Following up from a teaser trailer released in early May, Netflix has just dropped a new main trailer for the upcoming third and final season of the hit series Squid Game. The final season of the global phenomenon is set to premiere on Jun 27 on the streaming service and based on the new trailer released on Sunday (Jun 1), it promises to be a thrilling and emotional finale, with high stakes, plot twists and new games. The trailer opens with the haunting children's rhyme "Knock, knock, who is it?" as horrified players hide behind the towering legs of the iconic Young-hee doll – the deadly giant from season 1's Red Light, Green Light game. This time, however, the game takes on an even more sinister turn. Instead of an open field, it's set in a room filled with colourful illustrations. At the centre stands the eerie Young-hee doll holding a rope, teasing deadly new challenges such as jump rope. Gi-hun is also seen screaming in anguish, 'Why didn't you kill me? Why did you let me live?', as he grapples with guilt at the death of his best friend, Jung Bae, during the deadly rebellion that occurred in season 2. The trailer builds up to a powerful climax with Gi-hun clad in a sleek black suit, seemingly stepping into a final confrontation with the Front Man, who asks the question: "Number 456, do you still have faith in people?"

‘Squid Game' Teases a Final Showdown in Full Season 3 Trailer
The Squid Games are just getting started. In the full trailer for the third and final season of Netflix's hit series, protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is back in the games after the failed rebellion that ended season two. This time, the stakes are raised and the competition in the very deadly games is even more deadly.

Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?' he screams. It also shows players making their way through a disorienting maze and playing a deadly game of jump rope before Gi-hun comes face to face with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Watch it below. Squid Game season three marks the final season of Netflix's global sensation created by Hwang Dong-hyuk. Viewers go back into the games with Gi-hun, Player 456, on June 27 when all episodes drop on Netflix. An episode count has not yet been announced, though six has been reported. Season two had ended on the devastating cliffhanger of the games being incomplete and Gi-hun and his subordinates once again being held captive. After winning the Squid Games in season one, Gi-hun was determined to dismantle them from the inside. The seven-episode second season explored Gi-hun's effort to do so, culminating in a finale where he found himself thwarted by Front Man, the enigmatic game leader played by Lee Byung-hun who was revealed to the audience — but not yet to Gi-hun — to be Player 001. Front Man executed Gi-hun's best friend, Player 290 Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), as a warning about the consequences of his rebellion. New imagery around season three had previously revealed two new games — a massive gumball machine dispensing red and blue balls (representing the Xs and Os vote that will determine their fates) and the other, a new twist on the iconic Red Light-Green-Light game. The hope for the final season may lies in the ongoing outside mission to infiltrate the headquarters. Familiar faces return for season three: The Front Man, detective Hwang Jun-ho, and players Myung-gi (Player 333), Dae-ho (Player 388), Hyun-ju (Player 120), Yong-sik (Player 007), Geum-ja (Player 149), Jun-hee (Player 222), Min-su (Player 125), Nam-gyu (Player 124) and the pink guard No-eul. The third season concludes the story from Hwang, though the creator has shared several ideas about where he could spin off the franchise, which has already spawned reality series Squid Game: The Challenge and Squid Game: The Experience, a touring activation where fans can play games like the multiplayer video game Squid Game: Unleashed. Produced by Firstman Studio, executive producers include Hwang and Kim Ji-yeon. Head here for more on what to expect from season three.
