Squid Game Season 3: Netflix shares 6-minute ‘sneak-peek' hours before release of ‘the beginning of the end'
Hours before the highly anticipated show finale of Squid Game, Netflix has released a 'sneak peek' into Season 3 of the Korean drama, sharing with fans a glimpse of the first six minutes of 'the beginning of the end'. Squid Game is Netflix's number one non-English language series of all time. In a six-minute clip shared by Netflix Tudum, the surviving Squid Game contestants receive a gift-box coffin of their own, Gi-hun, played by Lee Jae. Gi-hun was last seen leading the failed rebellion of Season 2. The clip showed the Pink Guards delivering Gi-hun back to the Squid Game dormitory inside one of the coffins usually used for eliminated players. However, the twist in the tale is that Gi-hun is alive. Talking to Tudum, Lee Jae said Gi-hun has many obstacles ahead of him in Season 3. While he described the feeling of returning to the competition as 'being sucked into a different universe,' Lee said, 'When the coffin is opened, Gi-hun is reborn.' 'He has to go back to the competition, play the game again, and make choices again,' he added. Squid Game's third and final season will release globally on Friday, 27 June 2025. A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal — Squid Game Season 3 picks up in the aftermath of Season 2's bloody cliffhanger. Although Gi-hun is at his lowest point yet, the Squid Game stops for no one. According to Netflix Tudum, Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there's a traitor in their midst. Squid Game Season 3 will reveal whether Gi-hun can make the right decisions or whether Front Man finally breaks his spirit.

Squid Game 3 new poster asks fans to pick between Lee Jung Jae in tuxedo and unmasked Lee Byung Hun, hints at final survivors
With just days left before its much-anticipated release, Netflix has unveiled another poster for Season 3 of Squid Game. It marks the final chapter of one of the most groundbreaking series in streaming history. Slated to premiere on June 27, 2025, the poster doesn't just tease another round of deadly games; it promises a war. The gripping new image delivers a visual standoff between the last remaining players and the game's authoritarian forces. It ramps up anticipation for the most intense and emotional season yet. Players vs. power The poster, reminiscent of the franchise's signature aesthetic, is both nostalgic and ominous. The caption read, 'It's anybody's game. Pick a side.' The poster splits the central characters of Squid Game into two opposing sides. On one side, we see the returning contestants wearing their recognizable green tracksuits. On the opposite side stands the infamous Front Man, played by Lee Byung Hun. He's alongside his faceless enforcers, the Pink Guards, who maintain order with brutal precision. But the biggest visual shock comes from Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae), the original winner and protagonist of Season 1. He is dressed not in the tracksuit, but in a sharp black tuxedo, standing apart from everyone else. This dramatic change in costume has sparked endless fan theories. Gi Hun returns with a mission Viewers will remember that Gi Hun in Season 2 rejected his chance at peace. Instead, he chose to uncover the truth behind the twisted game that cost hundreds of lives. However, his rebellion against the brutal system and its maker ended in failure. Now, he's back inside the system, seemingly with more purpose and resolve than ever before. His tuxedo appearance is more than just a style change; it signals a potential transformation. He's no longer just a player. He now has deeper insight into the mechanics of the game and a burning desire for justice. Gi Hun's return may not just be about survival, but dismantling the system from within (again). The Front Man is back On the other end of the battlefield stands the Front Man, one of the most enigmatic and feared characters in the series. He went undercover as a contestant in Season 2 under the alias Young Il. Now, he has reemerged in his full armor of secrecy and authority. The power shift between him and Gi Hun has set up a final showdown that's been building for two seasons. His presence in the poster, calm and commanding, reminds viewers of just how high the stakes are this time. The battle between the two isn't just physical. It's psychological, emotional, and deeply personal. A glimpse at the final survivors The poster also offers a roll call of the remaining players who have survived the previous carnage. They are about to face what may be the deadliest games yet. Among them are Geum Ja (Kang Ae Shim), Myung Gi (Im Siwan), Seon Nyeo (Chae Gook Hee), and Yong Sik (Yang Dong Geun). Also in the lineup are Jun Hee (Jo Yu Ri), Gyeong Seok (Lee Jin Uk), Min Su (David Lee), Nam Gyu (Roh Jae Won), Hyun Ju (Park Sung Hoon), and Dae Ho (Kang Ha Neul). Not to be overlooked is No Eul (Park Gyu Young), the mysterious Pink Guard.
