5 Big Things to Remember About ‘Squid Game' Season 2

Squid Game is about to reveal its endgame, with the third and final season of Netflix's global smash arriving June 27. But before we see who ends up living, dying, walking away with the 45.6 billion won, or any of the other prospective fates we can imagine, it's time to take a quick peek back at season two. Here's the refresher you need before the new episodes arrive. The Fight Became a Rebellion… Season two's final episode, 'Friend or Foe,' saw a massive fight that sparked in the men's bathroom between player factions—the 'X' voters, who wanted the game to end, versus the 'O' voters, who wanted to keep playing—turn into a vicious after-hours brawl. The 'O' voters, driven more by greed than the desire to survive, realized that if they killed off other players, the prize money would still increase; that element of the Squid Game wasn't limited to who died during the actual competitions. Amid the chaos, Gi-hun—Player 456, who returned after his victory in Squid Game season one aiming to dismantle the games forever—and his allies decided to hide under the bunks and avoid the player-on-player violence. They knew the pink-clad, gun-toting guards would eventually come in to break up the battle—and they seized the chaotic moment to overpower several of them and take their weapons. …But the Rebellion Failed The audience, of course, knew another season of Squid Game was coming, so the rebellion failing wasn't a total surprise for viewers. For Gi-hun and his crew, however, it was devastating. Almost all of the 'O' voters who helped Gi-hun escape the player area and attempt to break into the control room paid with their lives. Gi-hun—still not aware that his new pal, Player 001, is actually the Front Man masquerading not just as a player, but as a loyal friend—thinks he overhears the man draw his last breath over a deceptive a walkie-talkie transmission. And Gi-hun has no idea that the extra ammo he gave 001 when they parted ways mid-battle is what the Front Man, back under his mask, uses to kill Gi-hun's best friend, Player 390. Who's Still Alive in the Game? Other than Gi-hun and the Front Man, aka Player 001, here are the key players who are still standing as part of a very diminished group: Player 333, the failed crypto schemer. He killed Thanos, which we both love and hate him for. Player 222, his very pregnant ex-girlfriend. The marketing for season three has featured a baby crying, which feels ominous. Player 388, the former marine. His mental freakout during the rebellion came at a crucial moment—when he was racing back to collect more ammunition—and surely made a difference in who emerged victorious, and who got mowed down by tons of bullets. Player 120, the ex-special forces soldier. She was a crucial part of the rebellion, helping everyone learn how to operate their newly acquired high-powered firearms. She didn't want to back down, but Player 149 urged her to surrender. Players 149 and 007, the mother and son team. He's a gambler who entered the games trying to set things right; she's become sort of a de facto mother figure for all the 'X' voters. Player 125, the timid guy. He saw his closest friend killed during the player-on-player fight, so he'll have some scores to settle that may snap him out of his meek shell. Player 124, Thanos' bestie. We'll miss the cocky rapper Thanos—a casualty of the bathroom battle—and so will 124, especially when he finishes going through all the drugs Thanos left behind. Player 044, the self-proclaimed shaman. She was a big part of season two's earlier episodes, but sort of faded from the spotlight after that. If you look closely, though, you can see her avoiding the player-on-player fight and the rebellion on one of the very tall top bunks. What's Going on With No-eul, the Rebellious Pink Guard? The Masked Officer—the guy in charge when the Front Man is in player mode—knows No-eul from her North Korean soldier days. A talented sniper, she has a daughter back in North Korea, and took the Squid Game job seemingly out of desperation. But she's not supportive of the organ-harvesting operation that secretly preys on the fallen players, to the point of sabotaging it. That further puts her on her boss' radar. No-eul doesn't play a role in the 'Friend or Foe' rebellion, but there's still some bad blood to wade through in this behind-the-scenes storyline. What about the Detective and His Search? In season one, police detective Jun-ho went undercover as a Squid Game guard, hoping to find his missing brother. At the end of the season, Jun-ho realized his brother—who he knows as In-ho—is actually the Front Man himself, a gig In-ho ascended to after winning the games prior to Gi-hun's victory. Though Jun-ho keeps this bit of knowledge to himself, in season two he joins forces with Gi-hun to hopefully bring down the games. When Gi-hun gets whisked away to the seemingly untraceable island where the games are played, Jun-ho keeps searching with a crew that includes several gangsters—Gi-hun's former foes, now on his payroll—as well as the seemingly sympathetic Captain Park, who lends his boat to the cause. At the end of season two we learned that Captain Park is in fact working against this group—the Squid Game has deep pockets and a long reach!—but nobody still alive is aware that he's on the bad guys' side. They also don't know he won't hesitate to kill to protect that secret. Squid Game season three arrives June 27 on Netflix.

‘Fubar' Season 2 Debut Barely Makes Netflix Weekly TV List Amid Steep Audience Decline As ‘Ginny & Georgia' Remains On Top

Arnold Schwarzenegger's FUBAR returned for its second season last week, but it appears audiences had other streaming priorities. Season 2 generated about 2.2M views in its opening weekend after debuting on June 12, placing it at No. 10 on the weekly Netflix Top 10 English TV charts. That's quite a fall from grace compared to the first season, which racked up about 11M views during its own premiere weekend back in May 2023. More from Deadline 'The Mortician' Becomes HBO's Most-Watched Documentary Series In Over 5 Years 'Land Of The Lost' Series Reboot In Works At Netflix From Legendary Television 'Love Island USA' Season 7 Sets New Bar For Series, Soaring Past 1B Minutes Viewed In Week After Debut, Per Luminate Instead, Ginny & Georgia Season 3 was the big winner, managing 16.9M views from June 9 to 15. It was comfortably atop the English TV list for the week. Once again, Seasons 1 and 2 also benefitted from the popularity of the new season. Season 2 came in fifth place with 4.2M views, while Season 1 took sixth with 3.3M. In second place was The Survivors, an Australian whodunit series that tallied 9M views in its second week on the streamer. Sirens also continued to perform fairly well, coming in third place with 4.3M views. That was closely followed by crime thriller Dept. Q in fourth place, also with 4.3M views. As for the film side of things, Tyler Perry's Straw picked up an impressive 48.9M views, making it both the biggest week this year for a movie and the biggest week for a 2025 launch. That's a positive sign that we may see it eventually land among Netflix's most popular English films of all time. Audiences also revisited the OceanGate submersible disaster in the new Netflix documentary Titan, which premiered recently at Tribeca Film Festival. The film took in 17.4M views, putting it at No. 2 on the weekly English films list.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

The reality TV show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has gained a large following due to its mix of drama and insights into Mormon culture. Fans are excited for news about Season 3 after two successful seasons. This article covers release date possibilities, cast updates, and expected storylines based on available information. Release Date Possibilities for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 Hulu has not announced an official premiere date for Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In October 2024, Hulu confirmed 20 more episodes after Season 1's success. Season 2, which aired on May 15, 2025, had 10 episodes, leaving 10 episodes still to come. Filming for these episodes is ongoing, as cast member Whitney Leavitt mentioned in May 2025. Given the eight-month gap between Season 1 (September 2024) and Season 2 (May 2025), the next episodes might arrive in late 2025, possibly November or December, or early 2026, around spring. Some reports suggest these 10 episodes could be called Season 2, Part 2, while others believe they will be marketed as Season 3, similar to how Hulu handled The Kardashians. An official announcement is still needed to confirm the release. Expected Cast for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 The main cast from Season 2 is likely to return, bringing their ongoing conflicts and personal stories. The expected returning cast includes: Taylor Frankie Paul: The central MomTok influencer tied to the 2022 swinging scandal. Demi Engemann: A key figure in Season 2 drama, often clashing with others. Jennifer Affleck: Facing personal challenges, including pregnancy and marriage issues. Jessi Ngatikaura: Involved in a major Season 2 cliffhanger about an alleged affair. Layla Taylor: Played a role in revealing Season 2's final drama. Mikayla Matthews: Expecting a baby in summer 2025. Mayci Neeley: Also expecting a child, adding to the group's changes. Whitney Leavitt: Rejoined MomTok after earlier tensions, but her acting career may affect her role. Miranda McWhorter: A Season 2 addition linked to the original scandal. What's the Plot for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3? Season 2 left us on a cliffhanger that's got everyone talking. Vanderpump Villa 's Marciano Brunette claimed he had an affair with Jessi Ngatikaura, despite earlier buzz pointing to Demi Engemann. Jessi's calling it nonsense, and her husband, Jordan, thinks Demi's behind the rumor mill. Here's what's likely coming in Season 3: Jessi's Affair Drama: This bombshell will probably kick things off, with Jessi facing off against Marciano and maybe Demi. Expect heated arguments and divided loyalties in MomTok. Demi's Feuds: Demi's been stirring the pot, fighting with Taylor, Jessi, and even Taylor's mom, Liann. Will she double down or get pushed out? Jen and Zac's Marriage: Jennifer's break from filming was about saving her marriage and handling her pregnancy. Season 3 could show if they're back on track or still struggling. Taylor and Dakota's Co-Parenting: After cooling their romance, Taylor and Dakota are focused on raising their kids together. Their dynamic will keep things spicy. MomTok's Fractured Friendships: The group's split into cliques, with trust issues everywhere. Miranda's new role and Whitney's return could shift alliances again. Baby Boom: With Jennifer, Mikayla, and Mayci all expecting babies in summer 2025, expect sweet moments mixed with the usual chaos. Where to Catch the Show You can binge Seasons 1 and 2 on Hulu in the U.S. or Disney+ if you're watching internationally. Season 3 (or whatever Hulu calls the next 10 episodes) will likely stick to these platforms. Ahmedabad Plane Crash
