Lee Jung-jae Unmasks The Front Man In Squid Game S3 Trailer

Has all the recent The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping news left you hankering for some bloody win-or-die battle royale action? Is the prospect of having to wait til next November for it leaving you distraught? Well friends, fret not: Squid Game Season 3 is right around the corner. And before showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk’s deadly games begin again on 27 June, Netflix has dropped a shiny new trailer for the final season of its global phenomenon K-Drama. For your latest look at Lee Jung-jae’s final outing as Player 456 — and a closer look at a face-off years in the making between Gi-hun and Lee Byung-hun’s Front Man — check out the teaser for the final season below;

Well, well, well… game on! This latest look at Squid Game‘s grand finale doesn’t mess around, throwing us right back into the arena with Gi-hun as he learns of The Front Man’s true identity and ultimate betrayal, reckons with the uprising within the Games that he helped to inspire, and getting stuck into one more round of torturous twists on playground classics. It certainly looks like Dong-hyuk is pulling out all the stops with Season 3, having gone through hell to up the ante with Season 2 — and the newly released synopsis for the show’s last outing reinforces that end-of-all-things vibe.

It reads as follows: “A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2’s bloody cliffhanger, the third and final season of Netflix’s most popular series finds Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Front Man to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there’s a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?”

What fate awaits Gi-hun? How — if indeed they do — will The Front Man’s deadly Games end? And between this, new prequels for The Hunger Games, Edgar Wright’s upcoming The Running Man retooling, and Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk adaptation, just what exactly is going on with visual media and its insistence that televised/gamified death matches are the dystopian future that awaits us? We’ll find out the answer to at least some of those questions when we hit play on Squid Game Season 3 on 27 June.
