Red Light, Green Light, It’s Over: The Final “Squid Game” Trailer Has Arrived

The games are finally coming to an end.

Netflix unveiled the final Squid Game trailer last Friday, unleashing one last look at creator Hwang Dong-hyuk‘s world-beating series. The trailer opens with a look back on the life of Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae), or player 456, and the happpiness he did have between gambling debts and the perpetual struggle to make ends meet, a happiness that’s been all but erased by the sadistic creators of the Games he’s been laboring in for years.

Gi-Hun’s getting a pep talk of sorts from player 149 (Kang Ae-shim), who tells him not to blame himself for everything that’s happened. “No matter how you look at it,” she says, “life is just unfair.” Truer words have never been spoken. As she speaks, we see the colossal robot Cheol-su (replacing the killer robot from season 1, Young-hee) mowing players down. “Bad people do bad things, but they blame others and go on to live in peace,” she continues. “Good people, on the other hand, beat themselves up about the smallest things.”

The trailer reveals snippets of some of the games we’ll be seeing in the final season, as Gi-Hun risks his life to put a stop to the entire sick enterprise. He’s got one true believer—player 149—who tells Gi-Hun that she still believes he came back to the games to “save us all.” That was undoubtedly his mission when he gave up most of his winnings from the games to fund his attempt to expose the creator and end the games. Now, at long last, we’ll see how Gi-Hun manages his long-awaited face-to-face meeting with Front Man. Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed consecutively, in a Herculean, 200-day shoot. Now, the global phenomenon will come to a close when the third and final season streams on June 27.
