Squid Game 3: What to Know About the Netflix Show's Final Season
The game is still afoot as Squid Game heads into its third and final season.
Unlike the dystopian South Korean drama's first season, which saw Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) coming out as the winner of 45.6 billion won (approximately $31.5 million) after successfully navigating a series of deadly challenges, the Netflix show's second season—released on Dec. 26 ended on a cliffhanger with his fate completely unknown.
Though Gi-hun successfully infiltrated the game as a returning player, his attempt to overthrow its makers was ultimately thwarted with his friend Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) gunned down by main guard Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) just as the two reached the control room.
"Player 456, did you have fun playing the hero?" Front Man asked Gi-hun as he bled on the floor after being wounded by a bullet. "Look at the consequences of your little hero game."
And according to Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, the consequences of his actions will be further laid out in season three.
"When I was thinking about the idea for the ending of season three, I think it sort of naturally came to me that this was the finale," he told The Hollywood Reporter in November. "I believed that with that story, I was able to tell everything that I wanted to tell through the story of Squid Game and also in the perspective of Gi-hun as a character, and I thought that we don’t need any further stories from here."
