This time, however, the game takes on an even more sinister turn. Instead of an open field, it’s set in a room filled with colourful illustrations. At the centre stands the eerie Young-hee doll holding a rope, teasing deadly new challenges such as jump rope.
Gi-hun is also seen screaming in anguish, “Why didn’t you kill me? Why did you let me live?”, as he grapples with guilt at the death of his best friend, Jung Bae, during the deadly rebellion that occurred in season 2.
The trailer builds up to a powerful climax with Gi-hun clad in a sleek black suit, seemingly stepping into a final confrontation with the Front Man, who asks the question: “Number 456, do you still have faith in people?”
Season 2 of Squid Game, released in December 2024, broke the record for most views for a show in its premiere week and entered Netflix’s Most Popular Non-English TV list in just three days, according to Netflix.
