Seong Gi-hoon is carried alive in a coffin in the teaser for Season 3 of the series `Squid Game`

What did the creators show us in the short video? Which characters will appear in the sequel? We explain.

Netflix released the teaser for the third and final season of "Squid Game" on April 6. The scenes appear simple at first glance, but the atmosphere remains the same: anxiety, despair, and the feeling that something terrifying is about to begin.

The main character of the first two seasons, Seong Gi-hun, is back in the game. He is brought to the barracks in a coffin—alive. In the second season, he organized a revolt to attack the bosses of the deadly game.

Now he returns not just as a participant but as a man with only one goal—to destroy the project completely. Some familiar faces can be seen in the shots: Detective Hwang Jun-ho, players 333, 388, 120.

One detail of the teaser is a giant gumball machine with red and blue balls. The colors once again signify choice. This is a direct reference to the street game in the first episode—where it all began.

The final seconds of the teaser are darkness and a child's cry. Nothing is visible, but the emotional impact is there. It turns out that the pregnant woman numbered 222, who appeared in the second season, gave birth during the games. Will the baby become a player like his mother? We'll see soon.

The continuation is expected to premiere on June 27, 2025. I remind you, the second season ended dramatically and left viewers with mixed feelings. At zoomboola.com, we talked about the criticism and what was shown in the second season.
