Straight from the Tudum 2025 global fan event in Los Angeles, Netflix has dropped the main trailer and brand-new stills for the long-awaited final season of Squid Game — a spine-chilling climax to the cultural juggernaut that redefined survival drama. Cast members from Seasons 2 and 3 were in attendance as the explosive preview set the stage for what may be the most brutal chapter yet. Premiering June 27, Squid Game: Season 3 asks the ultimate question: who will be the last one standing in the 45.6 billion won game?

“Knock Knock, Who Is It?” — The End Begins

The trailer opens with the eerie echo of a children’s rhyme — “Knock knock, who is it? It’s me, the little kid” — as players cower behind the floral tights of a now-returning Young-hee, the towering doll from Season 1’s infamous Red Light, Green Light. The nostalgia is twisted, the stakes deadlier than ever.

Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is back, consumed by guilt. “Why didn’t you kill me? Why did you let me live?” he cries, mourning the death of friend Jung-bae after a failed rebellion. His target? The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) — unmasked and revealed as Young-il, a former player turned orchestrator. Their long-awaited confrontation leads to the chilling line: “Number 456, do you still have faith in people?”

New Games, New Nightmares

Forget marble games — this season’s horrors are just getting started. Flash-cut visuals tease jump rope as a new form of execution. Elsewhere, Geum-ja (Kang Ae-sim) pleads through sobs, “Please, let us stop playing these games,” while Myung-gi (Yim Si-wan) challenges Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri): “So what are you planning to do? Just sit here and die?”

Every frame burns with desperation, as alliances fracture and hope dims.

Final Faces of Survival

The newly released stills tell a story of pain, persistence, and possible redemption. Gi-hun appears in a suit, stone-faced — a man who may have finally reached the game’s inner sanctum. The Front Man is spotted wearing player number 132, a cryptic reveal that hints at his concealed past.

Survivors Myung-gi, Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon), and more are shown in high-stakes moments, emotions raw and unfiltered. In one of the trailer’s most shocking shots, Gyeong-seok (Lee Jin-uk) — presumed dead after being gunned down during the rebellion — reappears, bloodied and clutching his stomach, confronting a Pink Guard. Revenge? Redemption? The truth is coming.

Meanwhile, Detective Jun-ho (Wi Ha-jun) returns, tracing the cryptic symbols behind the games — and maybe, unlocking the dark machinery that powers them.

One Last Game. One Last Winner.

With creator Hwang Dong-hyuk at the helm, Squid Game: Season 3 promises to close out the saga in a blaze of blood, betrayal, and brutal truth. The original series became a historic hit, while Season 2 soared to become Netflix’s third most-watched season of all time.

Now, as Squid Game prepares to play its final round, only one thing is certain — nobody gets out unchanged.
