The countdown has already begun! Squid Game season 3 is the final season in the series, and will premiere on June 27, 2025, picking right up where season 2 left off! Are you ready for the ultimate showdown? This final season aims to deliver a thrilling conclusion, and to achieve this, the budget is staggering! It is said to be ₩100 billion (roughly USD 68.62 million). Here's our question: Will the game spare any survivors?



Netflix has released its official trailer, so let's take a look at what we can expect in the games!



Plot twists (*Spoilers!)


Season three aims to show a side of vengeance and an attempt to dismantle the deadly games once and for all. This all comes as part of the continuation of Gi Hun's (Lee Jung Jae) fight, as we saw in seasons 1 and 2.


This would not be complete without trying to confront the Front Man (Lee Byung Hun). The unresolved conflict that has escalated between Gi Hun and the Front Man, will be the central point of the plot for season 3, and a clash is expected to be on the cards with his former friend.


Will this lead us to the truth? Gi Hun is still unaware that Young Il is the Front Man of the games, and the revelation of this will for sure be a significant part in season 3, adding conflict, betrayal, and disbelief.



Characters fate


Will there be new players in the new series? As the games will continue, season 3 will feature new players in a bid to share their desperate stories and motivations behind their desire to join the deadly games. We can expect to see a more brutal side of the games, and if you noticed at the end of season 2 in the credits, there was a small statue of a giant boy, which suggests a darker, more bloody version of Red Light Green Light in the upcoming series.

Hwang Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon) is also set to return, despite previously being shot by his brother, who was the Front Man back in season 1. Of course, in season 2 confirmed that Hwang Jun Ho survived the fatal fall, thanks to a ship's captain. Fans of the show are hoping to see him continue to investigate and hopefully reunite with Gi Hun to finally expose the deadly games once and for all, though the dynamic with his brother will also play a key element, we are sure. What do you think?



Themes and Tone


The aim of the game is of course to survive mortality, which the players strive for. The new series will strive to push the players bid for survival under the immense pressure that they see themselves in. It does make for a good TV show, however we can't help but feel a sense of sadness watching the desperation on the players' faces. This final season will be emotional as its the final season, the expectations on finding out about the conclusion of Gi Hun's rollercoaster story should hopefully all come to and end.


Given that seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back to back, the writers must have a clear direction and vision of what the story will conclude, fans around the world have been anticipating the end to the Squid Game franchise, so let's see what some of the fans are saying;





Dojeon readers, brace yourselves for the final, high-stakes games when Squid Game Season 3 which premieres on June 27th, 2025. This finalize, promises to be a dramatic conclusion to this global phenomenon.
