Netflix has finally dropped the much-anticipated teaser trailer for the third and final season of its global sensation, ‘Squid Game,’ set to premiere on June 27, 2025. The teaser trailer confirms that the end is near for the survival thriller that has gripped audiences since its debut.
The teaser offers a chilling peek into the final chapter, promising a brutal endgame where betrayal, revenge, and psychological warfare take centre stage. Here are three standout moments from the teaser that make one thing clear, this season will be nothing short of a ruthless endgame.
Squid Game Season 3 Teaser Trailer: 3 Highlights
Gi-hun Returns To The Games
The teaser of 'Squid Game' opens with an unsettling scene where we can see masked guards carrying a coffin into the players’ common room. To everyone’s shock, Gi-hun is found inside. He awakens moments later, alive, disoriented, and back in the nightmare he once escaped. This cryptic sequence suggests that following the emotional devastation in Season 2, including the loss of his ally Jung-bae, Gi-hun is once again being dragged into the twisted world of the games.
His return raises serious questions. After sparking a rebellion against the game’s overlords in Season 2’s finale, Gi-hun was marked as a major threat. Many believed he’d be isolated, imprisoned, or eliminated. Instead, the teaser flips that theory, revealing that the Front Man has a more sinister plan, to punish Gi-hun by forcing him to witness, yet again, the destruction of others. It’s a psychological play that raises the stakes far beyond survival.

Player 222 And The Baby Mystery
Among the rapid-fire visuals in the teaser is a haunting sound, the distant cries of a baby. One cryptic shot hints at Player 222 possibly giving birth. If true, this introduces an emotional and ethical dilemma unlike anything the series has explored before.
What happens if the mother dies? Is the child now part of the system? And most importantly, how does motherhood impact a player’s role and survival in a game designed to strip humanity away? This storyline could redefine the rules of the 'Squid Game' universe, adding a deeply personal and harrowing layer to the already brutal competition.
The Gumball Game
The teaser also introduces what appears to be the season’s first new challenge, a deceptively simple yet emotionally devastating game involving a gumball machine. Players, still marked with their signature X and O patches (representing their choice to continue or leave the game), take turns spinning the machine to receive either a red or blue ball.

A heart-wrenching moment shows mother-son duo Geum-ja (Player 149) and Yong-sik (Player 007) pulling different colours. The silent exchange of distress between them, followed by Geum-ja’s uncontrollable sobbing, directs us to a devastating outcome.
With just weeks left before the final season drops, fan theories are exploding across the internet. Will Gi-hun manage to dismantle the system that destroyed so many lives or will he become its final victim? The teaser doesn’t give away much, but one thing is certain: ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 is set to deliver its most emotionally charged and psychologically brutal chapter yet.
The last season of 'Squid Game' starts streaming on Netflix from June 27, 2025.
