Squid Game, Netflix’s most-watched show, made its global debut in 2021 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The dystopian survival thriller, originally in Korean, was dubbed into several international languages and captured the world’s attention. After the immense success of its first season, the second season arrived in 2024 but failed to match the same level of excitement. Many fans felt it lacked the suspense and intrigue that made the first season a massive hit.
Now, the makers are gearing up for the highly anticipated third season, set to premiere on June 27. With the second season not living up to expectations, all eyes are on whether the third installment can bring the series back to its former glory.
This morning, Netflix dropped the first teaser for Squid Game season 3, revealing that Player 456 is returning for one final game. The teaser opens with staff in pink uniforms carrying a box toward the contestants, before showing the protagonist Seong Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) seemingly dead, only to suddenly awaken.
Despite the mixed reception of season 2, fans are still buzzing with excitement for season 3, hopeful that it will deliver an epic conclusion to one of the most beloved shows in recent history.
