Squid Game Season 3: Plot

In a letter to fans, the writer-director of the web series, Hwang Dong-hyuk, said, “The fierce clash between two (Gi-hun and Front Man) worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3.”

A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal — Squid Game Season 3 picks up in the aftermath of Season 2’s bloody cliffhanger.

Gi-hun, who is at his lowest point in this season, will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair.

The finale thrusts the surviving players into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences.

In Season 3, Front Man welcomes mysterious VIPs, his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware of a traitor in their midst.
