Netflix dropped the much-anticipated trailer for Squid Game Season 3 on Monday, sending fans into a frenzy with the reveal of a new round of brutal games set to stream starting 27 June.
The trailer opens ominously with guards in the series’ signature pink uniforms carrying a coffin into the players’ quarters.
As the lid creaks open, it reveals Player 456, Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), seemingly lifeless—only to jolt awake moments later.
His shocking return confirms that the reluctant hero, who walked away from the games at the end of Season 1 and became entangled in a deeper conspiracy in Season 2, is once again thrust into the deadly competition.
Fans quickly took to social media to share their reactions.
“Oh my. I think this is the most brutal season of Squid Game! It’s so scary to watch this. How will they end this game? Gosh! Full of suspense episodes,” one viewer wrote.
Another speculated, “Pretty sure player 222 will survive cause I just heard a baby crying in the end.”
The trailer promises chaos, carnage, and complex twists as hundreds of desperate contestants return to play innocent childhood games with fatal consequences—all for the grand prize of 45.6 billion won.
Season 3 picks up after the events of the explosive second season, which saw Gi-hun turn his back on a flight to the U.S. to confront the masterminds behind the game.
With the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) still pulling strings and the twisted elite possibly back in play, the stakes have never been higher.
With Gi-hun back in the arena and the body count sure to rise, Squid Game is poised to once again dominate screens.
