Squid Game Season 3 Creator Hints at Exciting New Twists
Hwang Dong-hyuk recently shared his thoughts on the ending of Squid Game and gave it his approval. In an interview with EW, the screenwriter, director, and producer openly discussed the dangerous games he has planned for Season 3 of the popular show.
Talking about the motion-detecting giant doll Cheol-su from the series, he said, “That’s actually a preview of Cheol-su, a new giant doll like Young-hee, that we’ll be featuring in Season 3.”
Hwang Dong-hyuk kept most details secret but added, “That’s also a clue about the most thrilling game in Season 3. Although it hasn’t been revealed yet, I hope everyone is excited to meet Cheol-su and see the new game.” Season 2 of the series, which premiered on December 26, features Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun (Player 456), along with Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, and Jo Yu-ri.
Earlier, Hwang Dong-hyuk shared details about Season 3’s story during an interview with Variety. He said, “In the third season, Gi-hun has lost everything, including his best friend, and all of his efforts have ended in failure.
So now, what will he be like?” He added, “What state will Gi-hun be in? What decisions will he make? Will he continue his mission, or will he give up? Will he find the strength to persist?”
This hints at a deeper exploration of Gi-hun’s character. After enduring so much pain and betrayal, viewers might see a more vulnerable and conflicted side of him. The creator seems to be teasing a season filled with emotional struggles and tough choices, as Gi-hun faces not just external challenges but also battles within himself. Fans are eager to see how he navigates his path in a world that has tested him in unimaginable ways.
“You’re going to meet Gi-hun at a very critical point in his life as Season 3 begins,” Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed. “He won’t be the same man he was in Season 2,” he concluded, hinting at a major transformation in the character’s journey.
Season 3 promises to dive deeper into Gi-hun’s evolution after the devastating events he endured. With his life turned upside down and his beliefs shaken, viewers can expect to see a more hardened, complex version of Gi-hun. This pivotal moment in the series will likely set the stage for some of the most intense and emotional storytelling yet, as Gi-hun faces new challenges that will test his limits like never before.
The anticipation for Squid Game Season 3 continues to build, with fans eager to see what lies ahead for the beloved character and the deadly games. The next chapter of the global phenomenon is set to release in 2025, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats as they wait to see how the story unfolds.
