Squid Game Season 3: What to Know Before the Finale

Squid Game Season 3, starring Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun, is set to premiere on June 27, marking the final chapter of the intense survival drama. The new season picks up after Season 2’s failed rebellion led by Song Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae), who is grappling with guilt over the deaths of fellow contestants and preparing to take down the sinister masterminds behind the deadly games.

Recap of Season 2 Key Moments

In Season 2, Song Gi Hun teams up with Detective Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon), who survived a near-fatal encounter with his brother, the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung Hun). Together, they strive to expose the dark truth behind the games. The Front Man’s tragic past is revealed—once a police officer like his brother, he was drawn into the game due to financial struggles.

Mysteries remain, including the pink soldier Kang No Eul (Park Gyu Young) and her links to the Front Man’s second-in-command. Another unresolved plot involves Player 246, Park Gyeong Seok (Lee Jin Wook), who was shot during the rebellion and disappeared from view.

Season 3 Spoilers & Predictions

Fans speculate that Park Gyeong Seok may be alive and possibly forced into becoming a pink guard. The fate of Player 149 (Kang Ae Sim) and Player 007 (Yang Dong Geun), a mother-son duo, could be grim. A shocking twist may involve Kim Jun Ho (Jo Yuri), who might give birth amid the chaos, as hinted by a baby’s cry in the trailer.

Director Hwang Dong Hyuk promises the “most dramatic and impactful game” yet—a new hide-and-seek challenge set under a starry sky, surpassing even the emotional intensity of last season’s marble game. Adding to the tension is Chul Su, a male motion-sensing doll, who will play a key role in the upcoming jump rope game, following the legacy of the original green light-red light doll, Young Hee.

Stay tuned as the final season unfolds with more suspense, drama, and unexpected twists.
