Netflix Drops Farewell Video As Squid Game Era Comes To An End
Netflix's final 'Goodbye' video revisits eerie playgrounds, psychological battlegrounds and iconic characters. Now, it's officially a farewell for Squid Game fans. The era of the global Netflix phenomenon has come to a close, with the streaming platform dropping an emotional farewell video titled 'Goodbye", marking the end of its gripping three-season-long journey. Released on July 17, the clip takes fans back to the eerie playgrounds and psychological battlegrounds that made Squid Game unforgettable. As the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) presses a red button, the arena begins to shut down. The lights fade from each of the 12 haunting game stages, casting darkness over the infamous Young-hee doll. Guards in pink hazmat suits silently scrub away bloodstains and pack up props, symbolically erasing the remnants of desperation and survival that defined the series. In one of the most poignant visuals, LED lights representing every contestant go out one by one, until only Seong Gi-hun's remains. His personal mission brought him back into the game in Season 3. When his light finally dims, it marks not just the end of a character arc but the emotional closure of a story that struck a global chord. But that's not all. In another emotional video, cast members from all three seasons came together to bid farewell to their characters. From lead star Lee Jung-jae to fan favourites like Park Hae-soo and Anupam Tripathi from Season 1, the reunion reel offers fans one last walk down memory lane. Shared on the official Squid Game Instagram handle with the caption, 'Attention players: please return your tracksuits and leave with the best memories," the video kicks off with Jung Ho-yeon and Lee You-mi (Players 067 and 240) flashing warm smiles. Kim Joo-ryoung (Player 212) follows, while Park Hae-soo and Anupam Tripathi exchange a hug and hilariously swap the wrong tracksuits. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix US (@netflix) Yim Si-wan and Jo Yu-ri, who are likely the youngest contestants of the lot, step in next as Player 333 and Player 222 from Season 2. They're followed by Lee Seo-hwan (Player 390) and Kang Ha-neul (Player 388). Soon after, Jun Suk-ho and Kim Pub-lae, who helped Gi-hun in tracking down the Recruiter (played by Gong Yoo), make their entrance, noticeably without the signature green tracksuits. Chae Kook-hee, as the shaman lady (Player 044), also joins the farewell, followed by survivors Park Gyu-young as No-eul, the Pink Guard, and Lee Jin-wook as Player 456. Yang Dong-geun as Player 007 makes his appearance just before the most awaited moment. Choi Seung-hyun aka T.O.P. arrives next as fan-favourite Thanos, flashing his trademark heart sign. He's joined by Roh Jae-won and Lee David (Players 124 and 125), who bring a light moment with their playful banter. Won Ji-an as Player 380, Kim Si-eun and Park Sung-hoon as Players 095 and 120 follow soon after. Wi Ha-joon, who played the undercover cop Jun-ho, discards both his police officer uniform and his Pink Guard disguise, bringing his arc to a symbolic close. The emotional farewell reaches its peak as Lee Byung-hun adds both his Player 001 tracksuit and his infamous Front Man cloak to the pile. And finally, it's Lee Jung-jae, Player 456 himself, who wraps up the moment. As a lone Pink Guard rolls away the stack of costumes, the 'Squid Game" universe officially says goodbye.
