Squid Game Final Season Ends With Brutal Twists

The third and final season of Netflix's 'Squid Game' concludes the story with Seong Gi-hun rejoining the deadly contest after a failed rebellion. New games include a violent hide-and-seek where participants are divided into hunters and hiders, and a steel rope challenge featuring the Young-hee doll and her new partner Cheol-su. The season features major plot twists, such as revelations about Captain Park's past and Dae-ho's dishonesty about his military service. Fan-favorite characters Kang Sae-byeok and Il-nam return through visions and flashbacks, adding emotional depth. The VIPs, previously shown as spectators, now participate directly in the games, heightening the brutality. Critics observe that the series maintains its bleak themes and leaves open the possibility of future spin-offs.
