‘Squid Game’ final season trailer teases a dramatic end

Released two weeks after the first teaser at Netflix’s Tudum fan event, the new trailer offers a darker, more introspective tone. Backed by subdued music, the clip features a voiceover by Player 149, Jang Geum-ja (Kang Ae-shim), addressing series protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), reports The Hollywood Reporter.

“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,” she said.

She concludes, “I still believe that you came here to save us all.” Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, delivers the final line of the trailer: “I’m trying to put an end to it.”

The third season marks the end of the South Korean phenomenon, which remains Netflix’s most-watched series of all time, regardless of language.

Season two, released in December, ended on a dramatic cliffhanger. Gi-hun’s plan to bring down the brutal games from within was derailed. Despite his earlier victory, he and his allies were once again imprisoned.

The finale saw Front Man — the masked overseer revealed to viewers as Player 001 (Lee Byung-hun) — execute Gi-hun’s friend, Player 290/Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), in a chilling warning.

Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk returns as executive producer alongside Kim Ji-yeon for the final season, which promises high stakes and emotional closure, reports UNB.
