Squid Game's third and final season will be with us sooner than you think – and its first-look images have got me worried for Gi-hun's safety.

Following the huge success of Squid Game season 1 and Squid Game season 2, which only landed in December 2024, Netflix announced last year that the biggest show in the streamer's history would be getting a third season and with the next installment coming in June, it means fans won't have to wait as long as they did for season 2 to arrive.

Then, Player 456 enters the room, and the others fall silent. Gi-hun draws his own ball – red. Whispering starts up as the clip ends. This confirms Gi-hun has indeed been returned to the games after his failed rebellion in the season 2 finale.
