Netflix is making sure that people know the final season of Squid Game is imminent.
Two weeks after releasing a trailer for the coming season at its Tudum fan event, the streamer followed up Friday with a second trailer. The third and final season of the Korean hit — Netflix’s most watched series to date, regardless of language — is due to premiere June 27.
The new trailer takes a somewhat more somber tone than the previous one, with quieter music and a voiceover from Jang Geum-ja/Player 149 (portrayed by Kang Ae-shim), who’s speaking to series protagonist Seong Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae): “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.
“I still believe that you came here to save us all,” she concludes. Player 456, though, gets the last line: “I’m trying to put an end to it.” Watch the trailer below.
Season two of Squid Game, released in late December, ended with a cliffhanger: The games weren’t finished, and Gi-hun and his associates were once again held captive. After winning the Squid Games in season one, Gi-hun was determined to dismantle them from the inside. The seven-episode second season explored Gi-hun’s efforts to do that, culminating in a finale where he found himself thwarted by Front Man, the enigmatic game leader played by Lee Byung-hun who was revealed to the audience — but not yet to Gi-hun — to be Player 001. Front Man executed Gi-hun’s best friend, Player 290/Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), as a warning about the consequences of his rebellion.
Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk executive produces season three with Kim Ji-yeon. Read more about the final season here.
