Deadlier games, shocking twists in new Squid Game season 3 trailer released by Netflix
Netflix has released its official teaser trailer for season 3 of its global hit series Squid Game, intensifying fan anticipation ahead of its June 27 premiere. Advertisement The upcoming season continues the story of Gi-hun ( Lee Jung-jae ), who re-enters the deadly competition with a personal motive but ends up losing his closest friend. The narrative also follows the enigmatic Front Man ( Lee Byung-hun ), who infiltrated the game in disguise, and the final fates of the remaining players who have endured the gruesome contest. The trailer, released to coincide with a Netflix fan event in Los Angeles at the weekend , opens with an eerie rendition of a familiar Korean children's song, 'Knock Knock, Who's There? It's a Kid', setting a sinister tone. It then cuts to the terrifying sight of Young-hee, the iconic giant animatronic doll, now joined by a towering new version clad in floral tights, as frightened contestants brace for the next challenge. The unsettling transformation of childlike elements into tools of horror remains a signature of the franchise . Gi-hun's anguished outburst – 'Why didn't you just kill me? Why was I the only one spared?' – reveals the survivor's guilt he harbours after returning alone from a failed rebellion that claimed the life of his friend Deok-su (Lee Seo-hwan). Advertisement

Netflix released the official trailer for the third and final season of Squid Game at the 2025 Tudum live event In season 2, fans saw the show end in a major cliffhanger after Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae)'s failed rebellion Squid Game season 3 premieres June 27 on NetflixSquid Game is back for one final play. On Saturday, May 31, Netflix released the official trailer for the highly anticipated third and final season of the Korean thriller series at Tudum's 2025 live event. Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun as well as a few of their Squid Game co-stars were in attendance to present the trailer to the audience. The trailer shows the surviving players from season 2 forced to finish the game in which they were participating when Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) led a rebellion against the powers that be. "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?" he screams. After seeing the players take on challenges — like a deadly round of jumprope — Gi-hun comes face to face with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). "Player 456. Do you still have faith in people?" the Front Man asks him. "Gi-hun vows to put an end to the game, while the Front Man makes his next big move," Lee Byung-hun teased of the final season. Squid Game season 2, which was released on Dec. 26, ended with a major cliffhanger. In the seventh and final episode, Gi-hun led an uprising of the players, which resulted in the brutal murder of his best friend, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), at the hands of the Squid Game supervisor, Front Man. Unbeknownst to Gi-hun, the Front Man was actually In-ho — a previous winner of the Squid Game who now works as the head guard and is posing as Player 001 and using the name Young-il. "I thought that that was an adequate moment to put a stop and give [Gi-hun] a little bit of closure along [his] long story arc," Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety of the second season's final moments. "In the third season, having that sense of huge guilt and sense of failure weighing heavily on him — how is Gi-hun going to carry on his mission? That's the story that'll further unfold."
