When Hwang Dong-hyuk‘s “Squid Game” first arrived in 2021, it quickly became a phenomenon, as we don’t often see Korean shows or foreign-language series getting to this level of popularity among all subscribers. But like “Money Heist,” it was very accessible, breaking down those assumed language and cultural barriers, becoming one of the most popular TV projects on the service.
We’re now in 2025, and the third and final season of “Squid Game” is coming on June 27, and with Netflix’s event Tudum going on today, they’ve dropped the tantalizing main trailer for this final run of episodes.

An official synopsis from Netflix:
A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2’s bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix’s most popular series finds Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there’s a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?
