Fan-favorite South Korean survival thriller, Squid Game, has returned for its third and final season, marking the end of main character Seong Gi-hun's harrowing journey in Netflix's most-viewed series. Across six brutish episodes, Gi-hun re-enters the deadly arena where cash-strapped contestants compete for money, facing ever more ruthless games, emotional betrayals and a shocking finale. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirms this is the last season of the show, but its explosive ending suggests sprawling spin-off possibilities – possibly even in the U.S. Critics are hailing Season 3 as a powerful and fitting send-off, applauding its emotional depth and game design as among the best in the franchise.
