Netflix has officially announced that Squid Game Season 3 will premiere on June 27, 2025, marking the final chapter of the gripping series. The streamer unveiled a new poster and a series of images that offer "a tantalizing glimpse into the fate of the surviving players," heightening anticipation for the upcoming season.

Continuing directly from the events of Season 2, the third season delves deeper into the choices faced by Gi-hun, portrayed by Lee Jung-jae, as he navigates "overwhelming despair." Meanwhile, the Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, continues to orchestrate his sinister plans. As the games progress, the decisions made by the surviving players lead to increasingly dire consequences, promising a season filled with heightened suspense and dramatic tension, according to Netflix.

The launch poster for Season 3 features a chilling scene where a pink guard drags a bloodied contestant towards a coffin adorned with a pink ribbon. This stark image replaces the vibrant, rainbow-hued track of Season 2's six-legged pentathlon with a swirling flower-pattern floor, ominously hinting at the brutal finale awaiting viewers. The poster also teases the return of Young-hee and her companion Cheol-su, whose silhouettes suggest even more ruthless games on the horizon.
