Squid Game 3 Final Trailer: Finally, a show that knows when to quit; fans all in for Lee Byung Hun and Lee Jung Jae's showdown

Netflix dropped the final trailer for Squid Game Season 3, with Lee Jung Jae's Gi Hun gearing up for an epic showdown against Lee Byung Hun's Front Man to end the deadly games once and for all. The new trailer, out two weeks ahead of the June 27 premiere, sets a grim but satisfying tone, hinting that the story is moving in the right direction, regardless of its ending. Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon) is still looking for the escape, unaware that the traitor is hiding in plain sight. Season 3 follows Gi Hun's last shot to save the contestants, with revenge driving the game and jaw-dropping twists waiting at every turn.

The trailer takes audiences on a stroll down memory lane. With sombre music, the footage opens with a voiceover from Player 149 (played by Kang Ae Shim), who says to Player 456: 'Are you blaming yourself for everything that happened? No matter how you look at it, life is just unfair.' She continues, 'Bad people do bad things, but they blame others and go on to live in peace. Good people, on the other hand, beat themselves up about the smallest things. I still believe that you came here to save us all.' Fighting the violent flashbacks and the arrival of the VIPs, Gi Hun, with a determined look, says, 'I'm trying to put an end to it.'
The final season of the South Korean series, inspired by a real-life game (minus the deadly twist), follows Gi Hun as he makes one last attempt to save the players, after failing the first time. This season, Im Si Wan's unborn child is likely going to be a game changer, as maker Hwang Dong Hyuk teased earlier. The trailer ends with Gi Hun being summoned by the Front Man, and for the day, he dresses up in a tuxedo, ready to battle it out. The trailer also teases the return of Red Light, Green Light robot, only this time, in its creepiest avatar yet.
Fans are fully sold on the upcoming season, and it's not just because of the nerve-wracking trailer. Many viewers are praising the creators for choosing to end the story on a high note, rather than stretching it endlessly. One fan wrote, 'Honestly, I'm super glad they try not to extend the series as long as they can, but they actually want it to end. That's a good series.' Another said, 'Respect for the creators to not extend the show to infinity. Ending it here is the right call.' Viewers are also excited about the emotional weight of the trailer, especially Player 149's monologue, which struck a chord with many. Some are calling it 'the best 'don't gamble ad' I've seen in a while,' while others say the intense scenes, Gi Hun's shoelace moment, and the final showdown have them hooked on the series.

Within 1.65 billion views within 28 days, Squid Game went on to become Netflix's most-watched series. Lee Jung Jae even made history as the first Asian actor to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 2022 Emmys. Meanwhile, Hwang Dong Hyuk also became the first Asian to win an Emmy for directing a drama series.
