Squid Game's third — and final — series is almost upon us. The highly-anticipated series, which will be released on June 27, will feature six episodes all of which will be available to stream tomorrow (meaning we have a weekend full of bingeing ahead of us).
As for what we can expect from the third season of Squid Game: 'Picking up where the second season left off, season three explores the choices Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae) will make amidst overwhelming despair,' the official logline of the third season reads. 'As the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) plots his next move, the surviving players find their decisions leading to increasingly dire consequences with each round of the deadly games. This season promises to push the limits of suspense and drama, keeping viewers glued to the action.'
It might be Squid Game's final season, but the Korean drama will leave a lasting legacy given its runaway success. Squid Game season two became Netflix's third most-watched series ever, garnering 68 million views upon its debut — breaking the record for the most views in a premiere week — and ranking number one in the top non-English TV series list across 92 countries.
