Squid Sport season 3, the ultimate installment, is predicted to drop on Netflix on June 27, 2025. Nonetheless trapped within the video games for the second time, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) will doubtless proceed to try to finish your entire operation, spearheaded by the Entrance Man/In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), who Gi-hun was unaware was posing as a participant for many of season 2.
Jung-jae and Byung-hun, together with sequence creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, sat down for a Netflix particular the place they reviewed some theories submitted for his or her consideration by followers (through Netflix Okay-Content material). A lot hypothesis has surrounded what video games will probably be performed in Squid Sport 3. Try the creator and actors’ feedback under:
Byung-hun: [Reading fan theory] In season 1, yow will discover out the video games by wanting on the partitions. Wanting on the partitions in season 2, I am guessing they’re going to be Monkey Bars, Human Chess, and Yunnori.
Hwang: In season 1, we drew the video games on the partitions, and as individuals had been eradicated, you possibly can get hints in regards to the subsequent recreation by wanting on the partitions. That was an Easter egg I hid. However I might by no means do the very same factor in season 2. Frankly, the drawings on the partitions don’t have anything to do with the video games. I do not reuse units like that. [Lee Jung-jae laughs]. I can inform you that for certain.
Byung-hun: This is quantity two. [Reading] The sport with Chul-su and Younger-hee is certainly Open the East Gate. You possibly can see the highest of individuals’s heads lined up on the tracks. In entrance of Younger-hee is the sundown, and behind her seems to be night time, which applies to the lyrics of the track that go, “The gate closes at midnight.” [Stops reading] We hadn’t considered that ourselves, however the followers got here up with it.
Hwang: Followers are particularly captivated with what the video games will probably be.
Lee Jung-jae: I am guessing the age group of the one who wrote that is…I am guessing they’re on the older facet. How about watching the following season to seek out out?
Hwang: You’ll find out shortly. It is coming quickly.
Theories about secret familial relationships are sometimes well-liked with mysterious tales, and a few followers have speculated that Il-nam (O Yeong-su), the creator of the Video games in Squid Sport, may very well be the daddy of Gi-hun or In-ho, whose fathers are each unseen thus far within the sequence. Try the feedback:
Hwang: [Reading] Younger-il [In-ho’s allias] is Il-nam’s son. In season 1, Gi-hun mentions that he is lactose illiberal, and Il-nam says the identical. In season 2, Younger-il offers his milk to Jun-hee [Jo Yu-ri], saying he cannot drink plain milk. [Stops reading] So each Gi-hun and Younger-il are his sons? Does that make them brothers?
Byung-hun: I do not know.
Hwang: Do you’ve got completely different moms? Have been you purported to be half-brothers?[…]
Byung-hun: Lots of people had been saying that…that Younger-il is Il-nam’s son. I even requested the director after we had been capturing as a result of I wasn’t certain. I believe he instructed me that it is a part of the numerous units surrounding the Entrance Man which might be designed to impress individuals.
Hwang: Two individuals being lactose illiberal would not at all times imply they’re associated. Lots of people are that method.
Nevertheless, presumably probably the most extensively mentioned potential consequence of Squid Sport 3 is the speculation that Gi-hun will turn into the brand new Entrance Man. After they obtained to this concept, that is what the trio mentioned:
Hwang: [Reading] Participant 456 [Gi-hun] will win the sport and turn into the Entrance Man.
Byung-hun: I’ve heard that loads too. Even earlier than season 2 was launched I heard quite a lot of followers saying this. I really know what occurs. I will not inform [all laugh].
Jung-jae: Is it human nature to need to be the Entrance Man when you win the sport?
Hwang: I am undecided. After the second win he would have about 90 billion gained. And that is tax-free. Would he nonetheless actually need to be the Entrance Man?
Jung-jae: Even after successful all that cash, is it human nature to hunt energy, to finish up just like the Entrance Man? Why does everybody suppose that may occur?
Hwang: In-ho gained the sport and have become the Entrance Man. So Gi-hun may additionally be corrupted within the course of and observe in In-ho’s footsteps. Perhaps that is what individuals suppose will occur.
The group stored followers on the sting of their seats, ending with these feedback:
Byung-hun: One of many theories right this moment was half-right and half-wrong.
Hwang: A few of them had been partially proper. Squid Sport season 3 will probably be much more highly effective and unpredictable.
