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

‘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. More from The Hollywood Reporter Breaking Down the Insane Opening Sequence of 'The Residence' Finale: "It Was Like a Huge Movie" Matthew Goode Talks Becoming Netflix's New Leading Man in 'Dept. Q' - And Why He Won't Be in 'Downton Abbey 3' FTX Limited Series a Go at Netflix With Julia Garner, Anthony Boyle Starring The season three trailer, released Saturday at Netflix's Tudum fan event, shows Gi-hun questioning the game's powers: 'Why didn't you kill me? 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.

The Full ‘Squid Game' Season 3 Trailer Teases a Wild and Violent End
The end is near for Squid Game, Netflix's record-setting smash hit—and probably, inevitably, for several of the characters we've met along the way, especially in the show's recent second season. The third installment arrives in June, picking up on the cliffhangers fans have been agonizing over since December, and bringing new waves of peril as the desperate contestants inch closer to either grabbing the prize money or suffering a horrible death. We got a season three teaser earlier in May, but the first full trailer is here, and it's full of tension and mayhem—exactly what we demand from our Squid Game shenanigans. As we already knew would happen, Player 456, aka Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has been sucked back into the competition after his failed rebellion at the end of season two. It's safe to assume he's just as vengeance-motivated as ever, especially after losing his bestie, Player 390, in its bloody climax. Also back for more: Squid Game's most fascinatingly complex character, Player 001, aka the Front Man, aka In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), whose vicious deception has yet to be revealed to his fellow gamers. Season three will also pick back up with determined detective Jun-ho, estranged brother of In-ho, as he tries to track down the Squid Game location before it's too late for Gi-hun and the rest. The rest, incidentally, includes Player 333 (the crypto guy), Player 388 (the former Marine), Player 120 (the former special forces soldier hoping to win enough money for gender-affirming surgery), the mother-and-son team of Player 149 and Player 007, Player 222 (the very pregnant ex of the crypto guy), Player 125 (the timid guy), and Player 124 (former bestie of Thanos… RIP, Thanos). There's also the mysterious North Korean defector turned Squid Game guard, No-eul. As The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's famously ghoulish poster tag once asked, 'Who will survive, and what will be left of them?' We'll find out when Squid Game season three arrives June 27 on Netflix.

Our reunion with Madison's Karina from 'Farmer Wants a Wife': What happened after filming? Are Jay and Grace still together?
Warning: Spoilers from Fox's "Farmer Wants a Wife" Season 3 ahead. "Farmer Wants a Wife" Season 3 may be over, but we're still not over it. We had our own reunion of sorts this week with Wisconsin finalist Karina Sabol after last week's May 22 season finale. She gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how the final episode went down for her, where she flocked to immediately after for a taste of home, and what she's been up to since filming finished last fall. ICYMI or need a refresher: Farmer J'Marick "Jay" Woods' final two — who he said had "the most beautiful souls" — were Sabol and fellow contestant Grace Clark, a nanny from Washington. Including Woods, there were four farmers this season, each with their own crop of daters attempting to wrangle their hearts. The finale revealed that Woods ultimately chose Clark (the other farmers' picks can be found here). Sad but keeping it together, Sabol told Woods she was happy that he used both logic and his heart to make the decision. "God really does have a plan for us. So, we take it, we learn from it and move forward," she told him. So, what's Sabol's relationship status nowadays? Do she still talk with Woods? And, are Woods and Clark still together? Here's what Sabol shared: The season finale came days after Woods and Sabol met each others' families and had a date night. Sabol adored Woods' family and said they gave her a lot of reassurance that there was potential with him. Sabol and Woods did have conversations ahead of the finale about what post-show life would look like if they ended up together, Sabol said. They'd see if long distance would be possible for a while. And, with Sabol having the flexibility to sometimes work remotely, she planned to travel to Woods' Alabama hay and cattle farm for visits. "I was kind of optimistic, but also realizing: If it's not my person, it's not my person," Sabol said. "I don't want to be someone's second choice — ever. When I'm with that person — that final person — I want them to be as giddy as I am about them." When it was call time for the finale, Sabol was going through 'a lot of emotions.' During the season, she said the daters wrote letters to their future partners. As she got ready, she reflected on what she was looking for in hers. 'That gave me a good head on my shoulders heading into this,' she said. Based on the 'friendly' nature of Sabol's and Woods' relationship, as well as some logistical happenings that had to do with scheduling, Sabol said she figured she wasn't going to be Woods' pick. 'When we interact, it's very light-hearted, very giggly, we're cracking jokes left-and-forth — kind of chumming it up,' Sabol said. 'I think we often didn't have those very intimate talks.' Some of Woods' mannerisms and how the two expressed their admiration for one another also factored into her hunch. When Woods went with Clark, Sabol said she was slightly shocked, initially. Not because of his decision, but because of how "very valid" his reasonings were behind it. "But, also I had felt like he had given me reassurance that that wasn't necessarily where his head was at leading up to it," she added. Then, a sense of relief came over her. During the filming process, there were many times contestants could question themselves, discussions they had and what people said, according to Sabol. Having a definitive answer from Woods meant she no longer needed to question where they stood. 'Jay and I have the utmost respect for each other,' Sabol said. 'As sad as I was, I was very happy for him and Grace and I totally understand his reasoning. And, you know, all of that left me a little bit upset, but definitely excited for their future.' Immediately after the breakup, Sabol had a very-Wisconsin request for show personnel: To go to Culver's for a Concrete Mixer — iconic. Her wish? Granted. Only knowing Woods for around a month or so, Sabol said she never stopped protecting herself from the possibility of ending up single. "It wasn't that I was super-heartbroken or needed time to recover, but I did take a couple months just to travel and explore what my next moves were going to be," she said. Single. Still ready to settle down, Sabol has been back on dating apps and letting friends set her up with their friends. She feels the show unlocked "the next level" of dating for her, helping her hone in on the characteristics that are most important in a partner and the ones that aren't necessarily deal-breakers. What is she looking for? Someone who's: Ready to commit. "I feel like that is the hardest thing these days," she said. Really driven and hardworking. Believes in love. Prioritizes her. Wants a more-traditional lifestyle, planning to provide for a future family. Sees the outlook of the future. "I am a hopeless romantic and truly believe in the motto of: What is life without love?" Sabol said, adding that she's really optimistic about the future and what's to come. "No, they are not together," Sabol revealed. While the former flames do occasionally talk and check in on one another, it's strictly as friends, Sabol said. After getting to know her "incredible" castmates, Sabol was left with "a call for more" in her life. "Not necessarily more materialistic things, but I can be doing more with my time and a way to reach a bigger community and serve people in a better way," she said. She's still figuring out what that'll look like, but expressed how important volunteering has always been for her, whether it was with Special Olympics growing up or coaching gymnastics now. Sabol has remained friends with several from Woods' farm, including Clark — they talk on the phone weekly — Julia and Rissa. Plus, daters Bailee, Halleh and Christine. About 80% of the contestants reunited in Nashville for the airing of the premiere episode earlier this spring. Sabol will be visiting Bailee for her birthday in July and plans to meet up with Clark for concerts. "Returning was almost more unsettling than anything during the show," Sabol said. During filming, Sabol said, she knew her purpose and exactly what she was pushing through. When she returned home to Madison, she felt like "now what?" — not yet able to talk about what she had just experienced or get back on dating apps, which could essentially spoil the show. She threw herself into work and travel, going to Idaho; Washington D.C.; Colorado; and on weekend trips with friends. Before filming, she had just landed a promotion at Gunpowder Incorporated, where she's their new business and operations manager. That job and her family are the reasons she's stayed in Wisconsin — she's always "felt the urge to leave." "When I'm traveling, I meet so many different people and hear their stories and that's what I love to do," Sabol said. Traveling is actually what Sabol was up to when she got recognized from being on the show for the first time. She was recently getting matching necklaces with her sister at a Colorado boutique when a "FWAW" fan — who would tune in with her daughters — asked if Sabol was on the show. "She was very obsessed with it and thought it was a great show and a great season," Sabol said. "So, that was really nice to hear." Sabol plans to continue traveling in the coming months — to Ireland, Montana and Florida — and take advantage of summer in the Midwest, with its green grass, good temps, pools and lakes, she said. "I am. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she said, adding that she's so grateful for the friendships she's been able to build with fellow contestants and crew members. With such a small group of people in the world who've experienced the show firsthand, she'd "never give up" those bonds. "Once you've done one dating show, you've done enough," Sabol said. But, if there was ever an opportunity for any other cool TV experience, she'd definitely consider it.
