Squid Game Season 3 is premiering on June 27, 2025! Netflix recently dropped the first images from the show, teasing a season packed with more twists and turns.
One of the biggest teasers from Netflix's latest reveal is that Gi-Hun's player code is missing from his outfit in the new season’s photos. Fans have spotted that Gi-Hun (played by Lee Jung-Jae) is no longer wearing his iconic number, 456.
This could point to a new twist in the plot, possibly a symbolic move to reflect Gi-Hun’s evolution or a bigger, darker change in the story. Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series' creator and writer, might be using this subtle detail to set the tone for Season 3, promising a fresh, engaging angle that wasn't explored in the previous seasons.
In a surprising move, Netflix revealed that the entire 12-member cast from Season 2 will be returning for Season 3!
