Netflix has just dropped the first teaser for “Squid Game” Season 3, sending fans into a frenzy. The teaser is brief but intense, offering a glimpse of returning characters, ominous visuals, and a fresh twist on the deadly competition. Most importantly, it confirms the official release date: June 27.
Where We Left Off – Season 1 & 2 Recap
In Season 1, we met Seong Gi-hun, a down-on-his-luck gambler who was pulled into a mysterious survival game offering a massive cash prize. What he—and 455 other players—didn’t realize was that losing meant death. The first season ended with Gi-hun winning the game but refusing to spend the prize money. In a twist, he discovers the game is still ongoing and vows to take it down.
Season 2 deepened the mythology. Gi-hun dyed his hair red and began investigating the organization behind the game. We learned more about the Front Man, a former winner turned enforcer, and his strained relationship with his brother, a detective. Season 2’s shocking finale hinted that the game’s influence runs deeper than anyone thought—and may involve powerful global elites.
