Netflix Teases New Challenges, More Death in ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Trailer

The game is back on in the trailer for the third and final season of Squid Game. Following the cliffhanger events of season two, the clip reveals that Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has been forced back into the deadly game and will complete in even more elaborate challenges this time around.

The trailer shows Gi-hun brought back amongst the competitors inside a coffin-like box and teases the upcoming games, which appear to include a giant gumball machine. The end of the trailer cuts to black as a baby cries.
