Squid Game Season 3 Official Trailer: Let The Endgame Begin!
Check out the official trailer for the third and final season of director, writer, and EP Hwang Dong-hyuk's Lee Jung-jae-starring Squid Game.
The third and final season of Netflix's Squid Game follows Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) after losing his best friend in the game and being driven to utter despair by The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who was hiding his true identity to infiltrate the game. Gi-hun persists with his goal to put an end to the game, while the Front Man continues onto his next move, and the surviving players' choices will lead to graver consequences with each round. That's how things are looking heading into the third and final season of director, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's hit series, set to hit the streaming service on June 27th. With less than a month to go until its final run and with tonight being Netflix's live TUDUM global fan event, expectations were high for the streaming series to represent – and they were not disappointed. Check out the official trailer, waiting for you above…
And here's a look back at the special message from Hwang Dong-hyuk when the third and final season was confirmed:
During a mid-credit scene from the second season finale, a trio of players makes their way to another room for the next game. Waiting for them is Young-hee (the giant "Red Light, Green Light" doll/robot) – and next to her, dressed in green, is a younger boy doll/robot by the name of Cheol-su. Just before the scene ends, a flashing red light and a flashing green light go off. We're just going to assume that's not a good sign…
Squid Game Creator Confirms David Fincher Working on Spinoff Project
Will the "Squid Game" universe be coming to an end with Season 3 in 2025? Based on reporting in late October 2024, it looked like the franchise would be living on in a very interesting way. Reportedly, David Fincher (Fight Club, Mindhunter) is looking to develop an English-language series spinoff (not a reboot) that would be set in the same universe as the original series but take place in the U.S. With no one offering a confirmation, the reports ended up being just that – at least, until now.
Speaking with The Wrap, Hwang was asked about the franchise's future and where it could possibly go. "I know Netflix has a plan. They are not going to throw this idea away," Hwang responded. From there, the article continued by adding, "He [Hwang] noted that David Fincher is developing an English-language version of the series (as well as the second season of Squid Game: The Challenge). "Maybe I'll be in one of those projects as an advisor or co-creator. Who knows?" Hwang shared (the series creator is not currently involved directly in either project). "But Season 3 is not going to be the end of the 'Squid Game' universe."
