After we final noticed Gi-hun, also referred to as Participant 456, he’d rejoined the gladiatorial Squid Sport and sparked a insurrection to close it down for good. Shock, shock: his rebellion failed, and within the teaser for Squid Sport Season 3 we see Gi-hun respawn within the foyer for another spherical.
There’s not for much longer to attend for the endgame: Squid Sport Season 3 arrives June 27. Here is the teaser:
The teaser does not present us an entire lot (it would not be a lot of a teaser if it did) however there are a number of slightly alarming, if not utterly heartbreaking, particulars. We get a glimpse of a brand new recreation, which begins with gamers utilizing a kind of large capsule distributors (like an enormous gumball machine that dispenses prizes) to gather a coloured ball.
This merchandising machine seems for use to divide gamers into groups, blue or crimson, and horrifyingly, ultra-sweet mother Geum-ja attracts a crimson ball and her doofus son Yong-sik winds up with blue.
C’mon. Did you actually have to do this to us? Everyone knows Squid Sport is gonna finish with a horrifying and tragic bloodbatch, however boy, this feels prefer it’s gonna be particularly tough to take.
I can not actually glean a lot else from the teaser, however the cop who spent your entire final season fruitlessly trying to find Squid Sport Island apparently finds it—I assume he is on the proper island this time or he’d have wasted a whole two seasons doing completely nothing helpful. We additionally see the return of the rich masked viewers from Squid Sport Season 1, who by some means bankroll this complete operation however solely present as much as begin watching towards the top. That is wealthy folks for ya. They’ve luxurious field seats for the baseball recreation and do not even present up till the seventh inning stretch.
The teaser ends with the sound of a child crying, which seems like unhealthy information however possibly is not? That sound means pregnant contestant Park Mi-yeong lastly offers beginning, and Squid Sport HQ feels just like the worst doable place to welcome a brand new child. However the teaser has light to black at that time, so who is aware of: possibly she escaped alive and gave beginning someplace safely with an enormous plastic pig full of cash to ensure her kid’s future?
I anticipate Squid Sport Season 3 can be large: Squid Sport Season 2 was Netflix’s second-most watched non-English present of all time, solely coming in behind, you guessed it, Squid Sport Season 1. That is the ultimate season of the present, however that does not imply that is the top of Squid Sport: as just lately as final 12 months, rumors began floating round about an American adaptation, although nothing official has been introduced.
