The latest first-look images have been released, and they’re as chilling as you’d expect. Picture this: a blood-soaked Gi-hun, handcuffed, Guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young) revealing her face, the Front Man having an eerie ‘Yorick moment’ with his mask, and Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon) rallying a group of players around a coffin tied with a bow. This season will be full of shocking twists.

Fans react

Fans expressed a mix of excitement and scepticism regarding the announcement, especially after waiting three years between seasons 1 and 2. One fan commented, “You mean this June right?” while another added, “Hype mode activated.” Some fans pointed out that Netflix had accidentally leaked the release date earlier before deleting a teaser, leading to further speculation. The poster also features the phrase prepare for the final game, indicating that this will be the show’s concluding season.

About Squid Game

Squid Game follows Lee Jung-Jae as Seong Gi-hun (player 456). He initially enters the deadly games in season 1 to pay off his debts. In season 2, which was released last year, he joins the games willingly to dismantle the system. But faces challenges from the Frontman, played by Lee Byung-hun. The second season concluded with a cliffhanger, setting the stage for the third season. Additionally, Wi Ha-joon portrays police officer Hwang Jun-ho, who has his own motives for taking down the game. Mark your calendars for June 27 as the final chapter of Squid Game unfolds!
