New dolls and game scenarios: Everything known about the third season of “The Squid Game” collected

Time passes and “The Squid Game” continues to gain popularity, reaching more than 152.5 million views in three weeks. The second season spawned some wild (and pretty plausible) fan theories about the plot. That’s not all: While some are angry about the ambiguous ending of the movie, others are creating rumors and speculations about the continuation of the series. In this material we have collected everything that is known about the third season of “The Squid Game”.

Let’s start with the official information. On New Year’s Eve, streaming service Netflix announced that the third season of “The Squid Game” would air in 2025, and one of the videos later included a specific date: June 27. It is also known that the sequel will have seven episodes. “…When I was writing the script, I first imagined that the second and third seasons would be together. But then there were too many chapters and it was too long. That’s why I decided to divide the story into two seasons,” director Hwang Dong-hyuk told Entertainment Weekly. We recommend you watch the teaser and then move on to the most interesting and mysterious fan theories about the continuation of the series.

new baby

The appearance of a new baby is a reality because it was shown to us in the post-credits scene of the second season. Fans are speculating that the boy doll named Cheol Soo will be partnered with a girl named Yeon-hee in the “The slower you go, the slower you go” game, which stands behind the players and watches them from behind. Thus, the test will become even more bloody. But this is not the main feature – fans believe that actor 125 is the grandson of the creator of the game Oh Il Nam, which means that he served as the prototype for the new doll. Frankly, they are so similar that the gossip column editor is inclined to believe this theory.

Scenarios for new games

All this time, viewers assume that the game scenarios are right before our eyes. You had to take a closer look at the walls of the room where the actors lived. The first season featured visuals of tug of war, Sugar Honeycomb and glass bridge. Netizens also reviewed Easter eggs in the second season of the movie: According to fans, the chess board shows the introduction of a new game, Human Chess. In it, participants will be divided into two groups: “black” and “white”, each will have its own role. So the test will be similar to traditional chess, only instead of pieces there will be people moving around the field. In the shot from the second season, you can also see a drawing of people hanging from the ground holding on to black squares. This reminded fans of Monkey Bars, where players had to move between horizontal bars by holding on with their hands without touching the ground.

Player 149 is Player 001’s boss

I can’t believe you didn’t pay attention to player #149, a sweet grandmother trying to help the players and save her son. Unexpectedly for everyone, attentive viewers suggested that he is the boss of the 001 actor and that in the third season he will show himself more clearly than in the second season. At first the editor thought it was just another unsubstantiated rumor, but admittedly there are still contradictions. First, remember the moment when it was revealed that the hairpin was actually a knife. Everything would be fine, but if the organizers found a hidden tracking sensor in Song Ki-hoon’s tooth, how did they not notice it? Secondly, Hwang In Ho (also known as the host of “Squid Game”) did not hesitate to save the grandmother during the carousel challenge. Let’s draw conclusions…

Song Ki Hoon will die

Yes, there is such a sad theory. Fans believed that the reason for this was the shaman’s prophecy. During one of the tests, he told Song Ki Hoon that he was in the game against his will and that it was his duty here. Which one, of course, is not disclosed, but Internet users are sure that the main character will sacrifice himself to save the other participants in this cruel game. Moreover, “conspiracy theorists” think that player 456 will save the pregnant girl because he failed his family in the first season, but here he will be able to atone for his own crime by protecting someone else’s.
