The third and final season of Netflix’s hit survival drama “Squid Game” will premiere on June 27, the streaming giant announced late Thursday.
On its social media pages, Netflix unveiled a poster revealing the premiere date.
The image shows a bloodied contestant being dragged by a game guard toward a coffin wrapped in a pink ribbon. It also features the silhouettes of Young-hee, the iconic robot from the Red Light, Green Light game, alongside her male counterpart, Chul-su.
Netflix further teased the season by releasing stills, including one of protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) handcuffed to a bed and another of the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) looking at his mask.
Another teaser photo shows Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-shim, and Yang Dong-geun — who all play contestants in the deadly games — seemingly mourning at a coffin wrapped in a ribbon. Another scene features Park Gyu-young as No-eul, a guard working within the game.
“Squid Game,” which premiered in 2021, follows hundreds of financially struggling individuals who compete in deadly versions of children’s games for a massive cash prize.
The show is considered to be one of the most significant works in solidifying South Korea’s status as a global cultural powerhouse, alongside the Oscar-winning film “Parasite” and K-pop megastars BTS.
