Squid Game Season 3 Unveils Bloodied Lee Jung-jae in First Main Poster Without Lee Byung-hun
Netflix’s global hit series Squid Game is set to conclude with its highly anticipated Season 3, premiering on June 27, 2025. The release of the main poster has reignited excitement worldwide, promising a thrilling and emotional finale to the saga that captivated audiences with its brutal survival games and sharp social commentary.
What to Expect in Squid Game Season 3
Season 3 follows the continuing story of Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung Jae), who, driven by his own unresolved purpose, returns once again to the deadly game after the dramatic events of Season 2. This season is expected to reveal the ultimate fate of the surviving contestants, including Gi-hun’s closest friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), whose loss deeply impacts him. The mysterious Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung Hun, returns in a pivotal role despite his absence from the main poster, adding further intrigue and tension to the story.
The series remains faithful to its core themes—capitalism, inequality, and human desperation—set against the backdrop of childhood games turned lethal. Season 2 introduced new traditional Korean games like jegichagi and biseokchigi, intensifying the competition. Season 3 will unveil new challenges involving characters such as Young-hee and her counterpart Cheol-su, pushing players to their limits as they vie for the staggering 45.6 billion won prize.
Main Poster Details and Cast
The newly released poster prominently features Gi-hun, with a determined expression, standing in front of a striking new game arena decorated with countless star patterns that resemble a child’s painting. This setting symbolizes Squid Game’s signature contrast between innocence and brutality. Surrounding Gi-hun are other key survivors: Myung-gi (Im Si Wan), Dae-ho (Kang Ha Neul), Hyun-joo (Park Sung Hoon), Yong-sik (Yang Dong-geun), Geum-ja (Kang Ae-sim), Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), and Seon-nyeo (Chae Gook-hee), each showing fear and caution as they face the deadly challenges ahead.
Notably, Yong-sik, Geum-ja, and Seon-nyeo are shown precariously standing on a ledge, where a single misstep could be fatal—heightening the suspense for fans anticipating the final showdown. The poster’s tagline, “The Final Game for 45.6 Billion Won,” teases the high stakes and intense drama to come.
While Lee Byung-hun’s Front Man is not featured on the main poster, official teasers and stills confirm his crucial involvement in the upcoming season.
As anticipation builds for Squid Game Season 3, fans around the world are preparing for the epic conclusion to this groundbreaking series. Set to premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2025, the final season promises to deliver the emotional closure, high-stakes action, and thought-provoking storytelling that have made Squid Game a cultural phenomenon.
