Season 3 of Squid Game: What to Expect
Just four years after debuting on Netflix and taking the world by storm, it’s almost Game over for Hwang Dong-hyuk’s unmissable play-or-die K-drama already. But before we bid farewell to the South Korean creator’s absurd world of pink guards, puppet masters, tracksuited players, robot dolls, and deadly twists on playground favorites, our main man Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) still has an uprising to marshal — and a final boss battle with Lee Byung-hun’s Front Man to face. And ahead of the final season’s newly confirmed 27 June release date, Netflix has dropped a set of tantalizing first-look images from Gi-hun’s last stand. Check them out below;

A bloodstained Gi-hun in cuffs. Guard No-eul (Park Gyu-young) going mask off. The Front Man having a Yorick moment with his own mask. Park Sung-hoon’s trans fan favorite Hyun-ju heading up a cluster of players gathered around a bow-adorned casket. By the looks of it, *SPOILER ALERT* the Front Man’s callous killing of Gi-hun’s bestie Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) in the Season 2 finale may yet just prove to be the spark that lights the fire that burns the Squid Game down — and who’s going to be the one holding the match remains up for grabs. Just when you thought this show couldn’t get any more intense, Season 3 bowls along with a cold bottle of Cass for you to hold.
