Netflix has once again stirred fans awake with a new poster from the upcoming series finale of Squid Game. The motion poster features Lee Jung-jae, Kang Ha-neul, Im Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon, and other pivotal characters from the upcoming season. They are standing in a room with a few doors on some levels. The walls are painted blue and feature yellow hand-painted stars.

"NO STOP THE COUNT IM NOT READY," a fan wrote.
"okay there are different patterns/drawings behind the doors sooo are these different patterns from different games or are there like different rooms in the same game and they have to get the keys etc," another fan replied.

Here's what we know about Squid Game season 3 so far

Squid Game season 3 will be released on Netflix on June 27, 2025. It will pick up where season two left off, with Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) being held hostage by the guards in pink. The other members wait in their sleeping area for an update, whereas In-ho, aka Player 001 (played by Lee Byung-hun), double-crosses Gi-hun and squashes his rebellion. He goes back to being the Frontman.

No-eul (played by Park Gyu-young) was also revealed to be a guard in pink, and she has some connection to the other Frontman (played by Park Hee-soon). It was also revealed that the fisherman who was reportedly helping Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-jun) find the Squid Game was bribed by the game's masters to throw Jun-ho off track.

Further information and a trailer for the final season of the show are awaited.
