Season 3, the final season of Squid Game, is set to release on June 27th, so here is everything you need to know including the episode lengths.
Season 2 of Squid Game ends with our protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) watching his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) be murdered by the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). In the closing shots of the season, we watch Gi-Hun in despair as he looks at Jung-bae’s lifeless body.
Unbeknownst to Gi-hun is that the Front Man was posing as Young-il, who ended up becoming one of Gi-hun’s closest allies in the games and the revolution. Season 3 will deal with the fallout of Jung-bae’s death and the relationship between Gi-hun and Front Man.
