‘Squid Game’ follows a deadly life-altering game that forces citizens to stake their lives away. In return, they can either win a substantial cash prize that could change their lives or face fatal consequences. After Lee Jung Jae’s Gi-hun is the last man standing from season 1, he re-enters the deadly games to put a stop to it. Brimming with the burning fire of revenge, he vows to find those who are puppeteering the lives of desperate individuals.

Meanwhile, ‘Squid Game’ season 2 achieved a clean sweep in 93 countries, topping the most-watched chart simultaneously. However, several fans have expressed disappointment with the season. This is because it is a build-up to season 3 and ends on a cliffhanger.

Previously, ‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong Hyuk teased an intense third instalment, making sure to keep fans on their toes. While speaking with Variety, he said, “With each episode, it’s going to get better. With each season, it’s going to get better and a more expanded story, a more intense story, and definitely more entertaining. So just be sure to watch it until the very end!”.  Moreover, he also confirmed to IGN that ‘Squid Game’ S3 will focus on “what happens to Gi-hun.”

Fans can hope to find the answers to all the burning questions on June 27, sealing the fate of the intense game.
