Netflix is intensifying its promotional efforts for the highly anticipated final season of “Squid Game,” set to premiere on June 27. Following the release of an initial trailer during its Tudum fan event, the streaming service unveiled a second trailer that offers a more somber and introspective tone.
In this latest trailer, we hear the voice of Player 149, Jang Geum-ja, portrayed by Kang Ae-shim, as she addresses protagonist Seong Gi-Hun, played by Lee Jung-jae. Her poignant words reflect on themes of guilt and the inherent unfairness of life, stating, “Bad people do bad things, but they blame others and go on to live in peace. Good people, on the other hand, beat themselves up about the smallest things.” The trailer concludes with Gi-hun expressing determination, saying, “I’m trying to put an end to it,” signaling the high stakes that will unfold in the series’ final chapter.
The second season of “Squid Game,” released in late December, ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager to see how Gi-hun’s battle against the games continues. Season two delved into his internal struggle as he attempted to dismantle the deadly organization from within, ultimately facing formidable challenges from the Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, whose true identity as Player 001 was only partially revealed.
Fans can look forward to a thrilling conclusion as series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk resumes his role as executive producer, promising to deliver a riveting end to a saga that has captivated audiences around the world.
This final season aims to delve deeper into the psychological and moral complexities that have made “Squid Game” a significant cultural phenomenon, showing that while the games may be deadly, the human experience is rich with emotional truths and resilience.
