The main trailer for 'Squid Game' Season 3 has garnered nearly 2 million views just a day after its release.
Netflix unveiled the main trailer for 'Squid Game' Season 3 along with 15 new press stills on the 1st.
Season 3 of 'Squid Game' follows the story of 'Gi-hun', who re-enters the game with a personal agenda only to lose his best friend, the 'Front Man' who infiltrated the game in disguise, and the fates of the surviving participants in this brutal game.
Starting with the eerily familiar nursery rhyme, "Knock knock, who's there? It's me, a kid," the main trailer introduces the return of 'Young-hee' and the participants' terrified reactions behind the giant 'Young-hee' wearing floral tights. The opening teases how the signature elements of 'Squid Game', which turn childlike innocence into a battleground for survival, will unfold in Season 3.
Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who returned against his will, explodes in anger, asking, "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?" This scene poignantly conveys his deep guilt after losing his friend 'Jung-bae' (Lee Seo-hwan) following a failed rebellion.
Meanwhile, the sight of the 'Front Man' (Lee Byung-hun), who has returned as the game's overseer from being a participant named 'Yeong-il', watching over Gi-hun, heightens the suspense about how he will change the game's dynamics. The introduction of a starry alley and a jump rope game raises curiosity about the innovative ideas that will surprise both participants and viewers.
The intense confrontations among participants in extreme situations, the unpredictable plot twists, and the desperate pleas to stop the game showcase the unpredictable nature of what lies ahead. The return of Gi-hun, donning suit number 456, and the 'Front Man' revealing his identity to him with the words, "Player 456, do you still have faith in people?" escalates the anticipation for their final showdown.
The newly released press stills capture the ongoing struggle for survival in 'Squid Game'. Gi-hun's sharp gaze in a suit raises questions about his ability to dismantle the game completely.
The appearance of the 'Front Man' in a suit with the number 132 sparks curiosity about his new narrative. The stills of surviving participants 'Myeong-gi', 'Dae-ho' (Kang Ha-neul), 'Hyun-ju' (Park Sung-hoon), 'Yong-sik' (Yang Dong-geun), 'Geum-ja', 'Jun-hee', 'Nam-gyu' (Noh Jae-won) capture a range of emotions in different situations, drawing attention.
The image of 'Kyung-seok' (Lee Jin-wook) clutching his stomach and facing off against a pink guard, along with 'Jun-ho' (Wi Ha-jun) looking at a game invitation marked with ○△□, fuels speculation about their fates and the crucial clues to the game's mysteries.
The still of 'No-eul' (Park Gyu-young) aiming a gun after discarding a pink guard's mask hints at the unpredictable events to come. Lastly, the imposing presence of 'Young-hee' and the pink guards at the game's entrance ramps up excitement for the more intense and novel games ahead.
The final game of 'Squid Game' Season 3 will be unveiled on Netflix on June 27th (Friday).
