Squid Game Season 3 Drops Tomorrow—Here's What You Need to Know!

Squid Game is officially wrapping up its stories with Season 3, premiering this Friday (June 27). But just because it’s ending doesn’t mean the conversation stops here, especially with that six-minute sneak peek Netflix just dropped. Let’s take a walk down memory lane, revisit what has been shown to us in the previous season, and get ready for what’s coming next.

What is Squid Game?

Squid Game isn’t just a Korean drama series; it’s a global phenomenon created by Screenwriter & Director Hwang Dong-hyuk. This series broke streaming records with its intense life-vs-death survival games and an honest take on capitalism and desperation.

A Quick Recap of Squid Game Season 2

Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger. Gi-hun and his closest ally, Jung-bae, were trying to take down the game from the inside by faking death and ambushing the guards. But their plans failed when the Front Man—revealed to be In-ho or Jun-ho’s missing brother—shot and killed Jung-bae right in front of Gi-hun. Gi-hun was then captured by the pink guards and left in despair.

A mid-credits scene showed a new doll, teasing the start of another deadly game, confirming that the nightmare is far from over.

First Six Minutes of Season 3: Breakdown

In a surprise drop, Netflix released the first six minutes of Season 3, and here’s what happens:

• Gi-hun is delivered back to the dorm—alive but inside a pink coffin—making a dramatic return.

• His fellow players are relieved but also confused. They wonder what this means.

• The stakes? They are higher than ever. And this time, Gi-hun has to face not only death, but himself.

Even the acts of kindness shown by the Front Man are just another layer of manipulation. His goal isn’t just survival—he wants Gi-hun to give up on humanity fully.

The Final Chapter (But Maybe Not the End?)

Season 3 is set to close the book on Gi-hun’s story. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that this is the final season, but he’s playing with ideas for spin-offs, particularly one exploring the unseen three years between Seasons 1 and 2.

Imagine if the spin-offs are real. Viewers will be allowed to dive into the world of the mysterious recruiters, guards, and behind-the-scenes players. There’s still a lot of twisted ground to cover—even after the main story ends.

Squid Game Has Never Been Just a Show

There’s a reason this series dominates the world. Squid Game has always been about more than just a bloody gore series. It’s about capitalism, inequality, and the price of dignity in a system that doesn't care. It's a brutal mirror of the real world—and that’s why it sticks.

And judging from the sneak peek, Season 3 will be just as intense, if not more so.
