Netflix reveals the chilling first look at the final season of Squid Game, showing protagonist Gi-hun handcuffed to a bed within the game facility. Season 3 will explore the aftermath of Season 2's failed revolution and the games' administrators' new strategy for dealing with Gi-hun.
Netflix has released the first look at the final season of Squid Game , showcasing protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) handcuffed to a dormitory bed within the game facility. This chilling image offers a dramatic glimpse into how the series plans to conclude its story, with its main character now entirely at the mercy of the organization he sought to destroy.
The image signals a significant shift in the power dynamic of Netflix’s most successful series, suggesting the games’ administrators have developed a new strategy for handling their most persistent adversary. As series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed, this concluding chapter takes place in the immediate aftermath of Season 2’s failed revolution. Gi-hun’s attempted uprising against the games ended in bloodshed following the Front Man’s (Lee Byung-hun) brutal execution of his friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan). Instead of eliminating their troublesome former champion, the games’ organizers have opted for containment. While it would be easy to dispose of Gi-hun, the goal seems to be breaking his spirit and proving that the game’s twisted moral justification is valid. Hwang has previously explained that the final two seasons were conceived as one extended narrative. However, the story grew too big for the intended 10 episodes, leading Hwang to split it into two eight-episode parts, with Season 2’s cliffhanger specifically designed to lead into Season 3. That means we can expect to learn precisely what’s happening in the new image once the new season premieres, but only if the ideas develop naturally rather than being forced. Netflix also plans to continue the franchise with or without his direct involvement as an advisor or co-creator. This expansion is already underway, with various projects in development. Given the series’ reception, it’s no wonder that Netflix is trying to squeeze as much money from it as possible. Season 1 became Netflix’s most-watched series ever with 1.65 billion viewing hours in its first 28 days, while Season 2 exceeded expectations. The show’s cultural impact extends beyond viewership numbers, with the series winning numerous accolades, including six Emmy Awards for its first season and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Lee Jung-jae, making him the first male actor from a non-English language series to win the award.Season 3 premieres globally on Netflix on June 27th.
