Netflix has announced that the third and final season of its global sensation, Squid Game, will premiere on June 27, 2025. The streaming platform released a gripping trailer during its TUDUM 2025 event, offering fans a glimpse into the intense conclusion of the South Korean survival drama. The series, which first captivated audiences in September 2021, follows desperate contestants risking their lives for a massive cash prize in a brutal competition.
The trailer centers on Seong Gi-hun, Player 456, portrayed by Lee Jung-jae, who is reeling from the devastating events of Season 2. After the Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, killed Gi-hun’s close friend Jung-bae, Gi-hun discovers the shocking truth about the Front Man’s identity: he is In-ho, a former ally who posed as a fellow competitor in the games. The two-minute clip captures Gi-hun’s anguish as he confronts guards, demanding, “Why didn’t you kill me? Why did you let me live?” while being restrained as In-ho looks on.
Season 3 picks up after Gi-hun’s failed rebellion, thrusting him back into the deadly games with a renewed determination to dismantle the sinister system. The trailer hints at a high-stakes showdown, with new challenges pushing the contestants to their limits. According to Netflix, the season will explore Gi-hun’s struggle to end the games once and for all, while the Front Man orchestrates the competition’s next phase.
Squid Game Season 2, released in December 2024, achieved record-breaking viewership, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series in a single week and ranking as the platform’s third-most-popular series, following Season 1 and Wednesday. The third season promises to conclude the story arc, delivering answers to lingering questions about Gi-hun’s fate and the shadowy organization behind the games.
