Squid Game Season 3 Trailer Reveals Major Player Survivals, Returns, June 27 Netflix Release

The upcoming third season of Netflix's Squid Game, premiering on June 27, 2025, promises to continue the intense and brutal competition with several returning characters and new developments. The season 3 trailer confirms the return of Gi-hun and reveals that he will be brought back to the players' dorm unconscious in a casket, signaling dire consequences for future rebellions. Fans can also expect the return of the VIPs—wealthy spectators of the games—who were absent in season 2 but now appear revamped with a more diverse and improved English-speaking cast. A significant plot point hinted in the trailer is the sound of a crying baby, suggesting that Jun-hee, a character revealed to be pregnant in season 2, may give birth during the games, adding a personal crisis element to the story. Additionally, there is a strong fan and critical push for more screen time and meaningful involvement of Detective Hwang Jun-ho, a key character whose storyline investigating the games and connection to the Front Man added emotional depth, but was underutilized in season 2. Many hope that season 3 will do justice to Jun-ho’s character by giving him a more impactful role as the series concludes.
