Squid Game is gearing up for the release of its third and final season. After the release of its exciting teaser, fans are now even more intrigued by the show. The second season ended on a big cliffhanger with The Frontman successfully betraying all the players. In the finale, it will be revealed what will happen to these games that has been happening for years and what is the future of Player 456.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, revealed he will introduce new chilling games in Squid Game Season 3 but will focus on showcasing humanity amid the competition. He said, “In season 1, we had lots of games like Tug of War that really utilized height and the fear that this height gives, but in the case of season 2, we didn’t have that element. That is why in season 3, I decided to introduce games that could really infuse fear in people with sheer height.”
“For season 1, I tried to focus on how there’s intense competition going around in this extreme capitalistic society. In the case of season 2, I wanted to show how Gi-hun breaks the game’s rules by trying to introduce this revolt of trying to upend the system, but then it ends in failure. And in the case of season 3, I wanted to take a slightly different approach — I wanted to focus on how [people] have to preserve their humanity amidst this intense competition in this capitalistic era. I wanted to focus on how we can preserve our sense of humanity and how we should remain humans even amidst this intense competition. I try to pose that as a final question,” he added.
Meanwhile, the makers have also introduced Cheol-su, Young-hee’s giant robot doll boyfriend in the post-credit scene. For the unversed, Young-Hee is robot doll shown in ‘Red Light Green Light’ game in both seasons.
