The final chapter is here — Squid Game Season 3 drops on June 27, 2025, and Netflix is going all in.
From a bone-chilling trailer to a creepy found-footage teaser and a star-studded press conference, the hype surrounding this season is unmatched. And fans are asking: "What’s waiting at the end of this deadly game?"
Wondering who’s back, what the new games are, and what those cryptic lines in the footage mean? We’ve got all the answers so far!
A Look Inside the Official Trailer: “Do You Still Believe in People?”
The newly released trailer kicks off with Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) staring blankly at his reflection—haunted, broken, but determined. The Front Man’s chilling line, “Do you still have faith in people?” sets the tone for what looks to be an emotional endgame.
From neon-lit arenas to brutal new games, the tension is back, higher than ever. The trailer hints at personal vendettas, unresolved guilt, and a dangerous power shift behind the scenes.
How Did Season 2 End?
Season 2 ended on a dark and emotional note. Gi Hun and a few surviving players discovered a hidden passage leading to the backrooms of the game—a place few had ever seen and lived to tell about. But just when hope sparked, the Front Man stepped in.
Most of the players were eliminated, and Gi Hun was captured—but strangely kept alive. The reason? Still a mystery. When he returns this season, he’s colder, more serious, and haunted by the lives lost on his failed mission.
The Front Man’s words from the end of Season 2 still echo in our minds:
"Did you have fun playing the hero? Look closely at the consequences of your little hero game."
Chillingly, that same line resurfaces in the Backroom 2 teaser, making fans question: Is this truly a game… or a psychological trap with no escape?

Theories: Will Gi Hun Be the Hero… or the Villain?

Fans are torn: will he stay righteous, or will revenge drag him into the darkness? What will he sacrifice to finish what he started at the end of Season 1?
