Squid Game is finally coming to an end.
On Monday, May 5, Netflix dropped the first look at the highly anticipated third and final season of the hit Korean thriller. Per the streamer’s official logline for season 3, the new installment will pick up right where it left off.
Despite losing his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) after their failed rebellion, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is thrust “back into the brutal heart of the games, determined to dismantle them once and for all.”

The teaser begins with the pink guards carrying a black box they use as coffins for fallen players to their quarters. As the remaining players gather around the box, the lid opens to reveal Gi-hun lying unconscious.
When he awakens, the players find themselves ready to play a final game. Gi-hun twists the knob of a giant gumball machine that dispenses red and blue balls.
Though further plot details remain unknown, one thing is clear: the color gumball each player draws will determine their fate in the next challenge.

Squid Game season 2, which was released on Dec. 26, ended with a major cliffhanger. In the seventh and final episode, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) leads an uprising of the players, which results in the brutal murder of his best friend, Jung-bae, at the hands of the Squid Game supervisor, Front Man.
Unbeknownst to Gi-hun, the Front Man is actually In-ho — a previous winner of the Squid Game who now works as the head guard and is posing as Player 001 and using the name Young-il.

“I thought that that was an adequate moment to put a stop and give [Gi-hun] a little bit of closure along [his] long story arc,” Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety of the second season’s final moments. “In the third season, having that sense of huge guilt and sense of failure weighing heavily on him — how is Gi-hun going to carry on his mission? That’s the story that’ll further unfold.”
