Squid Game: Season 3 | Official Teaser | Netflix

Ready for one last competition? Netflix has released the official teaser trailer for Squid Game season 3, the final chapter of the landmark South Korean series.

The teaser begins with the pink guards carrying a coffin into the resting area. When a player dies, the guards take the dead body out of the arena in a coffin. However, this coffin carries Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), aka Player 456. Once Gi-hun wakes up, the game is back on, as the players step up to a gumball machine to begin their next challenge. The teaser ends with a baby crying, adding further mystery to the third season.

Season 3 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking rebellion and cliffhanger that closed the second season. The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) successfully infiltrated the game as Young-il, aka Player 001. As an undercover agent, Player 001 betrays the group by squashing the rebellion and executing Gi-hun’s closest ally, Player 390, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan).

Season 3’s ensemble includes Wi Ha-jun as Hwang Jun-ho, Yim Si-wan as Myung-gi (Player 333), Kang Ha-neul as Dae-ho (Player 388), Park Sung-hoon as Hyun-ju (Player 120), Yang Dong-geun as Yong-sik (Player 007), Kang Ae-sim as Geum-ja (Player 149), Jo Yuri as Jun-hee (Player 222), Lee David as Min-su (Player 125), Roh Jae-won as Nam-gyu (Player 124), and Park Gyu-young as No-eul.

5 great Netflix shows to watch on New Year’s Day and beyond
The cast of XO Kitty.

New Year’s Day is one of the easiest days to end up scrolling Netflix without actually committing to anything. The problem isn’t a lack of options, but choosing something that fits how you’re likely to watch, which usually means a show that starts quickly or keeps a steady rhythm without demanding too much attention.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night or just easing into a slower start to the year, the right show can do most of the work for you. This list narrows it down to five that are particularly effective right now, not just because they’re popular, but because they’re built for this kind of viewing. Some are structured for fast, high-retention binges, others are easier to sit with, and a couple justify a more focused watch if you’re in the mood to engage.
