Korean filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk’s death-game spectacle Squid Game returns for its third and reportedly final season with six new episodes that follow on directly from the mid-tournament cliffhanger at the conclusion of December’s season 2.
We will steer clear of spoilers here, but this article does assume that readers are caught up until the end of season 2. It should also be noted that critics were able to screen all but the final episode of the new batch.
Viewers should already know that the previous season of Squid Game featured a new cast of players, most of whom scraped through the first three rounds, which claimed the lives of hundreds of other players.
The only returnees from season 1 were Seong Gi-hun (aka Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae), the winner of that season who returns to the arena; the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who orchestrates the games; and Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), the detective searching for the games and his brother.
