Netflix announces Squid Game season 3 with teaser poster and character stills
Netflix announced Squid Game season 3 on its social media. The teaser poster features the show's name in its trademark format, with the number '3' in pink next to it. The title is set against a background of a floor covered with white and orange-colored floral paintings. On the floor, we also see two shadows of the robot dolls - Yeong-hui and Cheol-su. Yeong-hui was featured in the Red Light, Green Light game.
A guard in a pink suit is dragging a player in a green suit toward the center where there is a coffin with a huge pink ribbon lying in wait. The words "Prepare for the final game" are also seen on the poster, signaling the audience about the third and final season of the show.
In the character stills, we see Gi-hun tied to a bed post with handcuffs. No-eul is dressed in her pink guard suit and looks up to something. Lee Byung-hun is back in his room as the Frontman. He is holding his mask with a contemplative look on his face. Then we have players 140, 222, and 007 find a coffin in the rest zone as others look with curiosity.
The news of the show's return with its third season comes a month after season two ended. Squid Game season two opened with largely positive reviews and its finale left several questions for the next twist in line. Season 3 of Squid Game hopefully holds the answers to several mysteries spawned on the show so far.
