Original, May 4: Netflix’s Squid Game is gearing up to release its final season on June 27, and a new trailer reveals that the games continue, and nobody is safe, not even lead character Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae).
Watch on Deadline
In a shockingly morbid moment, Gi-hun is brought out in a giant black gift box, which the guards use as coffins for fallen players. Curious and scared, the players approach and open the box, revealing Gi-hun inside. As he awakens, viewers are transported to the beginnings of a new game. A massive gumball machine dispenses red and blue balls, representing the fates that will determine the next challenge.
Netflix teases, “Picking up from Season 2’s devastating cliffhanger, Season 3 thrusts Gi-hun (Player 456) back into the brutal heart of the games, determined to dismantle them once and for all. Still haunted by the betrayal and loss of his closest ally, Jung-bae (Player 390), Gi-hun faces new perils — including the Front Man, who shockingly infiltrated their rebellion disguised as Player 001.”
Familiar faces return: 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.
After watching the action-packed scenes, the screen goes to black, the audio reveals a baby is crying. It implies that at some point, Kim Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri) welcomed her baby.
