It's Game (Almost) Over In the Final Squid Game Trailer
Squid Game has been one of Netflix's biggest hits in recent memory, and we've known for quite a while that the show was reaching the finish line. With just two weeks to go, Netflix has doled out one last trailer to remind auidneces how far Seong Gi-hun/456 has come and how much he's playing for keeps. Last season ended with Gi-hun learning his new game buddy In-ho/001 was actually the Front Man, who then killed his other game buddy, Jung-bae. That's made for one more death weighing on Gi-hun's conscience, and as Jang Geum-ja/149 tells him, life ain't fair and shit happens. But since he's a good person and 'beats [himself] up about the smallest things,' what else can he do but continue trying to bring this whole enterprise down and save the remaining contestants? While surviving players from the previous season are as beat down by everything as Gi-hun, they're not all giving up, and some new faces are equally ready to come out on top. Front Man's brother Jun-ho is trying to make it to the island for a rescue, but everything ultimately hinges on Gi-hun. And that means an eventual reunion with the Front Man, who's preparing for the incoming arrival of several VIPs and whatever the next phase of his plans are. How does it all end, and how will Gi-hun 'put an end to it?' We'll find out when the last six episodes of Squid Game premiere June 27 on Netflix.

The final trailer for the third and last season saw Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) speaking to Jang Geum Ja or Player 149 (Kang Ae Shim) as scenes from the first two seasons flashed onscreen. 'Are you blaming yourself for everything that happened? No matter how you look at it, life is just unfair. Bad people do bad things, but they blame others and go on to live in peace. Good people, on the other hand, beat themselves up about the smallest things,' Jang Geum Ja said. She tells Seong Gi Hun, 'I still believe that you came here to save us all.'

EXCLUSIVE Squid Game director reveals REAL reason Netflix hit has been split into three series - and gives verdict on season four
Squid Game writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed the real reason why the upcoming series of the Netflix hit has been split into two parts. The dystopian survival thriller became an instant hit after it landed on the streaming service in 2021. Fans had to wait three years for the next instalment of the show (series two), which landed in December 2024, and luckily they've only had to wait six months for the third. But that is partly because the second season was cut in half - and many fans have wondered why he made the decision to do so. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline at the Squid Game season three premiere on Thursday, Hwang Dong-hyuk said: 'I originally didn't plan for it to be split into two seasons. 'I was thinking that it'd be a single one, but in the process of writing it, it came out to about 13 episodes, which I thought was too long to put out as a single season. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'And I also thought it was too long when you look at current trends. 'So I thought that we wanted to split it, and if we were to split it, at the end of episode seven, when Seong Gi-hun hits rock bottom after his rebellion failed... 'I thought that was the just the right moment to sort of dividing into two chapters.' One question that a lot of fans want to know the answer to is if there is a fourth coming anytime soon. Hwang Dong-hyuk told us: 'I think that once you watch season three, people will understand why the story should come to a closure here. 'So I don't have any plans for a season four.' The writer then went on to share some very exciting news about some other projects relating to the hit show. He added: 'But I do have some ideas, maybe about a spin off.' Lee Jung-Jae, Park Gyu-young, Kim Ji-yeon, Lee Byung-hun and Hwang Dong-hyuk pictured at the Squid Game season 3 premiere at The Barbican in London on Thursday MailOnline also caught up with Lee Jung-jae - who plays protagonist Seong Gi-hun in the show - and asked what he thought about the other 'real life' programmes that have been made off the back of the Netflix hit. Squid Game: The Challenge hit the streaming service in 2023. It follows a group of contestants battling it out for $4.56 million. He said: 'I always thought that having somethings that come out of an original story so that many people can enjoy it further... 'I've always seen it as a good thing. 'Whether or not that is successful, I don't think that is important, what I think is important is that there is more for people to enjoy.' Netflix's official synopsis of the show reads: 'Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. 'Inside, a tempting prize awaits — with deadly high stakes.' The second series saw 456 players return to the game in a bid to win 45.6 billion won. Seong Gi-hun decided to re-enter the game to defeat the Front Man. He tried to rebel against those that are in charge of the evil games, but doesn't get very far after he loses his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), shortly after Front Man murdered him. But luckily fans don't have long to wait until they find out what happens next. The star-studded cast includes Lee Jung-jae, Park Gyu-young, Gong Yoo, Lee Byung-hun, Jo Yu-ri and Wi Ha-joon. They are joined by the likes of Roh Jae-won, Lee Seo-hwan, Yim Siwan, Yang Dong-guen and Kim Jun-hee. Neflix dropped the official trailer of the upcoming season earlier this month. While some were left 'disappointed' by Squid Game 2 at the end of last year, others can't wait to see what happens at the end of June. Many rushed to the comments section of the YouTube video to share their excitement. 'Not having to wait 2-3 years between seasons is so refreshing. ' 'The fact that we just waited 7 months for the season 3 instead of 3 years is crazy !' Less than a month!? Thank you for not making us wait until 2028 after the trailer drops, looks [fire emoji]. 'The best decision made with Squid Game is that after waiting almost 4 years, we're getting seasons 2 and 3 in a span of 6 months after an open ending that felt deserved.'
