What will happen in Squid Game season 3?
Squid Game season 3 is keeping its plot details close to its chest. That said, we know that the series will end the show for good.
As teased in new imagery, season 3 promises to be its darkest yet. Dong-hyuk has ditched its rainbow-hued tones for something more sombre and sinister.
Elsewhere, Netflix has further teased the show’s new robotic threat Cheol-Sul, laying the groundwork for even more bloodthirsty games.
This new killer doll was first revealed via Netflix’s social media platforms earlier this year.
What happened in Squid Game season 2?
Squid Game season 2 debuted on Netflix on 26 December 2024 and instantly shot to the top of the streamer’s charts to become one of its most-watched new shows.
The series picked up a few years after the events of Squid Game season 1. In this South Korean thriller, cash-strapped gamblers must survive a series of playground games to win a life-changing cash prize. However, if they lose, they die.
New episodes found Seong Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae), the reluctant winner of the show’s first Squid Game contest, dedicating his life to finding a way to stop the games from happening.
His quest leads him to realise that the only way to make any real change is to re-enter a new Squid Game with a new mindset. Once inside, he makes it his goal to convince players that money isn’t the answer to their problems.
Unfortunately, his plan is scuppered when the show’s villain – the masked Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) joins him inside the game, undermining his every move.
