It’s time to play the final games.
Squid Game Season 3. June 27 – Only on Netflix.
A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2’s bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix’s most popular series finds Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there’s a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?

Today, Netflix released the official teaser for the third and final season of Squid Game. Season 3 premieres June 27, only on Netflix.
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.
The series 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. It broke the record for most views for a show in its premiere week and entered the Most Popular Non-English TV list in just three days – currently ranked #2 with 192.6 million views, second only to Season 1’s 265.2 million. Season 2 also became the third most-watched season on Netflix ever, further solidifying the franchise’s global impact.
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.
The newly unveiled teaser trailer opens with pink guards carrying a black box – the very coffins used by the guards for fallen players – to the resting area of the games. 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. 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. As the suspense builds, the final moments echo with the mysterious cries of a baby.
In the striking teaser art, Gi-hun stands amidst a sea of black boxes tied with pink ribbons. He looks upwards, captured in a moment of contemplation and resolve. What awaits him and the other players in the games?
Get ready for the premiere of Squid Game Season 3 on June 27, exclusively on Netflix.
