The first two Netflix entertainment complexes will open at the end of the year
Looking to grab an official Tires shirt or a sandwich based on Arnold Schwarzenegger's FUBAR ? Netflix will have you covered in the near future. The streaming platform's long-promised Netflix House amusement centers will open up shop in Dallas and outside of Philadelphia by the end of the year , with a third location coming to Las Vegas in 2027. These 100,000-square feet behemoths will operate throughout the year and will celebrate all things Netflix. There's a retail component, a restaurant called Netflix Bites and all kinds of "immersive story-driven experiences" based on some of its biggest shows. The locations will also offer mini-golf, which maybe is a tribute to that one episode of Cobra Kai ? We aren't sure about that one. As for the aforementioned story-driven experiences, the locations will include stuff like the iconic 'Red Light, Green Light' race from Squid Game and a Demogorgan chase inspired by Stranger Things . Netflix says each location will "regularly update its offerings" so these experiences should vary. The platform promises experiences based on hits like Wednesday , One Piec e and the Knives Out movie franchise. Sadly, there was no mention of Is it Cake? or the social media-adjacent reality show The Circle . I want to sit in a weirdly-decorated room and talk to strangers on the internet! Wait a minute. I already do that. The Philadelphia location is being built at King of Prussia Mall and the Dallas branch will exist at Galleria Dallas. The third location pops up in the Las Vegas Strip at BLVD Las Vegas in 2027. Netflix-heads can sign up for an early visit right here .

'Squid Game' season 3 final trailer hints at the darkest season yet — here's 3 major things I noticed
I have to admit, watching the final 'Squid Game' season 3 trailer hit me harder than I expected. After all the twists, heartbreak, and chaos over the past two seasons, I thought I was mentally prepared for whatever this show could throw at us. Spoiler alert: I wasn't. The trailer doesn't just tease new games or violence but it also dives deep into the emotional fallout that's been simmering beneath the surface, especially for Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who looks completely unravelled. If you've been following 'Squid Game' from the start, you know it's never just about the competition. This final teaser ratchets all the tension up to eleven, showing us a Gi-hun who's no longer just a survivor, but a man haunted by his past and consumed by anger. We'll get to see how this all plays out on Netflix starting June 27, 2025. In this trailer, we get glimpses of mysterious new game styles including a maze-like challenge, ominous rope-jumping (with that eerie doll again), and team splits by color gumballs. The emotional stakes in the trailer are raised even higher by a heartfelt monologue from Geum‑ja (Player 149), who asks, 'Are you blaming yourself…?' This simple question reflects the heavy burden of guilt and regret that many players carry, making this moment one of the most powerful and humanizing glimpses we've seen so far in 'Squid Game' season 3. Most strikingly, Netflix included a brief montage of the previous seasons, which instantly makes this final chapter feel much more bittersweet. After watching the trailer a few times, I picked up on three key details that really stood out. In the trailer, the VIPs make only a brief appearance, shown seated around a luxurious dinner table being served elaborate dishes. The scene is strikingly understated since there's no dramatic spotlight or extended focus on them, which feels intentionally mysterious. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This subtle reintroduction does, however, feel deliberate, as if the showrunners are building suspense around their role rather than spelling it out. I wouldn't be surprised if they were orchestrating something far more sinister than previous seasons — possibly expanding the games on a global scale or becoming more hands-on in controlling the chaos. Unlike their previous role as distant spectators indulging in grotesque entertainment, the VIPs' return might mean they are now active players in the unfolding nightmare. Gi-hun and his friends will have to pull off something incredible to stop these powerful figures and end the games for good. First teased in the post-credits scene of season 2, Chul-su is believed to be a male counterpart to Young-hee — the creepy animatronic girl who presided over the unforgettable Red Light, Green Light game. Though we never get another look at Chul-su in the trailer, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment that strongly hints at his role in a new game: an ominous jump rope setup that looks anything but innocent. Early fan theories speculated that Chul-su and Young-hee might be part of a deadly 'train' game based on the Trolley Problem (which would have the two dolls pretending to be the trains, while the players are forced to lie in their paths). But from what we see now, it turns out the challenge is likely a warped take on jump rope instead. Still, the presence of both dolls suggests it could involve more than just physical coordination. One of the most immediate (but obvious) takeaways from the final trailer is just how different Gi-hun looks. Gone is the dazed survivor barely holding it together because what we see now is someone visibly fractured, yet burning with purpose. But it's that exact determination that has fans like me worried. Some viewers are speculating on Reddit that he might sacrifice himself to save Jun-hee's (Jo Yu-ri) baby, or rather, save all of his friends in a final heroic act. While it seems totally plausible (and realistic) that he would die doing something good, I'm not sure whether the showrunners would actually go through with it considering he's such a beloved character. However, with his vow to 'put an end to it,' the implication is clear: Gi-hun may be ready to give everything, including his life, if it means stopping the cycle of death once and for all. Whether or not that happens, the emotional groundwork is being laid, and it hurts already.

In the 'Squid Game' final trailer, Seong Gi Hun is determined to ' put an end to it'
Seong Gi Hun is stopping at nothing to put an end to the deadly 'Squid Game.' The final trailer for the third and last season saw Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) speaking to Jang Geum Ja or Player 149 (Kang Ae Shim) as scenes from the first two seasons flashed onscreen. 'Are you blaming yourself for everything that happened? No matter how you look at it, life is just unfair. 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,' Jang Geum Ja said. She tells Seong Gi Hun, 'I still believe that you came here to save us all.' The Frontman then called for Seong Gi Hun. 'I'm trying to put an end to it,' he said before the trailer ended. A previous teaser revealed that there will be more deadly games in the third season. A poster also revealed two murderous dolls for the iconic Red Light, Green Light game. 'Squid Game' became a worldwide sensation since its premiere in 2021. Following the success of the first season, several cast members won top acting awards from renowned international organizations like the Golden Globes and SAG Awards. Right before the second season premiered, it got nominated for the Golden Globes in the Best Television Series – Drama category. 'Squid Game' Season 3, the third and final season, premieres on June 27 on Netflix. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News

Parents of Sanford toddler nearly killed in hit-and-run ask for community help to solve the case
Sanford Police are asking the community to come forward with information on a hit-and-run that nearly killed a toddler. 3-year-old Harmonie Rose Bryant has been fighting for her life at Arnold Palmer hospital, since she was hit on Persimmon Avenue in the Goldsboro neighborhood on Thursday. According to her family, the toddler is in stable condition, but she had brain bleeding and multiple fractures to her skull and pelvis. The family spoke exclusively with Channel 9 and said Harmonie will likely have a long road to recovery. According to the family, the 3-year-old is awake but unable to communicate and could have lasting issues from the crash. Her parents told Channel 9 they were watching their daughter play 'Red Light, Green Light' with her older brother just feet away from their Sanford home, as a driver jumped the curve and slammed into their daughter. 'We were sitting right there on the porch when it happened. And that car came flying around the corner,' said Harmonie's father Melvin Bryant. 'She went flying in the air. I jumped off the porch, almost fell down the steps,' added Harmonie's mother Lakisha Debose, as she recalled the horrifying moment. Harmonie's parents said they have been by their daughter's hospital bedside 24/7 since the crash and are asking for continued prayers for her recovery. The family and several neighbors told Channel 9 speeding is a problem along Persimmon Avenue where the crash happened. They believe the city needs to take some speed calming measures on the road. Meanwhile, Harmonie's parents said they are frustrated the person responsible for the hit and run is still at large. They are begging the community to provide information to police that could help close the case. 'I want justice,' said Bryant, 'I'm asking for anybody to step forward.' Sanford Police said they do have persons of interest but have not made any arrests yet. The department said anyone with information about the hit-and-run could contact Sanford Police directly or make an anonymous report via Crimeline.
