Squid Game Season 3: 5 crucial things every fan should know before watching the final chapter
By Aman Shukla Published on June 27, 2025, 10:39 IST
The final season of Netflix's Squid Game drops on June 27, 2025, bringing the curtain down on a global sensation that's kept us glued to our screens. This South Korean thriller, packed with heart-pounding games and raw human drama, has redefined TV storytelling. If you're gearing up for Season 3, these five insights will get you ready for the epic conclusion without spoiling the surprises. Let's dive into what makes this season unmissable, based on the journey so far in Seasons 1 and 2. 1. Gi-hun's Fight Carries a Heavy Toll
Seong Gi-hun, brought to life by Lee Jung-jae, is no longer the broke gambler we met in Season 1. After surviving the deadly games and walking away with millions, he's haunted by what he's seen. Season 2 shows him hell-bent on taking down the game's shadowy organizers, but his plans come at a brutal cost—friends lost, hopes shattered. As Season 3 begins, Gi-hun's on a razor's edge, driven by guilt and a need to end the bloodshed. His arc will pull you in, so keep an eye on how far he's willing to go. 2. The Games Get Wilder and More Twisted
The show's signature is turning childhood games into life-or-death nightmares. From the chilling Red Light, Green Light in Season 1 to Season 2's chaotic Mingle Game, each challenge ups the stakes. Season 3 teases a new spin on Red Light, Green Light with a creepy new doll, Cheol-su, joining Young-hee. Expect games that mess with players' heads as much as their survival instincts, with stakes that feel bigger and more personal. Knowing the games' brutal creativity will help you brace for what's coming. 3. The Front Man's Secrets Run Deep
Lee Byung-hun's Front Man is the masked mastermind pulling the strings, and his story gets murkier every season. Season 1 dropped a bombshell about his past with detective Hwang Jun-ho, while Season 2 blurred the lines between player and puppetmaster. In Season 3, his role in the games' shadowy world—tied to the mysterious VIPs—will take center stage. Pay attention to his cryptic moves; they're key to understanding the power behind the games. 4. New Faces, Old Wounds
Season 3 brings back fan favorites like Gi-hun, Jun-ho, and tough-as-nails players like Kang Dae-ho and Cho Hyun-ju, who survived Season 2's carnage. New players, like those wearing numbers 96 and 353, will shake things up with their own stories of desperation or defiance. The absence of characters like Gi-hun's buddy Jung-bae, lost in Season 2, will hit hard. Getting a sense of who's who and what drives them—greed, survival, or something else—will make the drama pop. 5. It's Still a Mirror to Our World
Squid Game isn't just about surviving deadly playground games; it's a gut-punch commentary on money, power, and inequality. The show lays bare a world where the desperate fight for a cash prize while the ultra-rich watch for fun. Season 3 digs deeper into the global reach of the game's creators and the moral lines players cross. Going in with an eye for these themes will make the finale hit home, especially as Gi-hun takes on the system itself.
