Hwang Dong-hyuk, the visionary creator, writer, and director behind the smash-hit Netflix series "Squid Game," has subtly hinted at the intriguing possibility of a spinoff to this captivating saga. In an exclusive sit-down with People magazine at the season 3 premiere held in the glittering city of New York, Hwang teasingly remarked, "The exact timing and manner of its manifestation remain shrouded in mystery for now. Yet, the door is ajar."
The highly anticipated third and conclusive chapter of "Squid Game" is geared up for its grand premiere on June 27th, seamlessly continuing from the cliffhanger of the previous season. The narrative delves deeper into the journey of Seong Gi-hun, alias Player 456 (portrayed by Lee Jung-jae), as he grapples with the tumultuous aftermath of the players' doomed uprising against the game's omnipotent organizers.
The official synopsis for season 3 unveils a tale where Gi-hun is pushed to the brink of absolute despair by The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who concealed his authentic identity to infiltrate the game with sinister intentions. Undeterred, Gi-hun remains steadfast in his quest to terminate the deadly game, amidst a backdrop where the surviving players confront escalating perils with each harrowing round.
During their Tudum 2025 live event in May, Netflix unveiled an official trailer for this final curtain call, painting a vivid picture of the remnants of players compelled to complete their harrowing journey in the Squid Game. The trailer concludes on a haunting note, with Gi-hun being escorted to the control room to confront The Front Man once more, amid the haunting inquiry, "Player 456, do you still cling to faith in humanity?"
