'Squid Game': Netflix confirms the final season with a new trailer

Netflix has confirmed that Squid Game, its most successful series globally, will come to an end on June 27.

The platform has released the first preview of this final installment, which promises a conclusion filled with tension and revelations.

How does Squid Game end?

The story picks up with the life of Gi-hun, Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae. After the events of the previous season, he decides to confront the game that destroyed him.

In the trailer, he appears desperate, surrounded by guards, demanding answers: "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you leave me alive?"

A revelation that changes everything

The preview reveals that the Front Man, the mysterious leader of the game, is actually In-ho. The character pretended to be Gi-hun's friend in order to manipulate him from within.

This twist, which the audience already suspected, now becomes the central axis of the conclusion.

The second season, released in December 2024, was also a success. It was surpassed only by the first season of Wednesday.

The impact of Korean productions

The success of the series boosted the popularity of Asian content worldwide. It paved the way for other Korean dramas in Netflix's catalog.

The finale arrives in three parts

The conclusion will be released in three installments, allowing for a more in-depth development of the conflict's resolution.
