The third and final season of Squid Game is approaching, and the newly released teaser trailer offers fans a first glimpse at the dramatic culmination of Netflix's most popular show across the globe. The makers have also announced the release date of the third season.
Picking up from Season 2's devastating cliffhanger, as per the teaser, the third season 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 difficulties, including the Front Man, who shockingly infiltrated their rebellion disguised as Player 001.
The makers' newly unveiled teaser trailer opens with pink guards carrying a black box to the contestants' resting area. The curious and scared players approach and open the box, revealing Gi-hun inside.

The OTT platform, Netflix, announced the release date of the series through their Instagram handle. They wrote, "Player 456 returns, one final time. Watch the final season of Squid Game out on 27 June, only on Netflix."
As per the press note shared by the makers, the series Squid Game remains Netflix's most popular show to date and continues to captivate global audiences, smashing multiple records with its Season 2 return in December 2024.
Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, who returns as writer and director for the final season, originally planned Squid Game as a three-season story. However, he has not ruled out the possibility of a future spinoff.
"When we were doing season one, I was saying there was never going to be another season," Hwang told The Hollywood Reporter during season two's launch. "And so if the time comes, and it just so happens that I'm able to come up with a character or a different story, then maybe there might be a comeback. But I'm thinking more along the lines of a spinoff," he added.
