The primary full trailer for Squid Recreation Season 3 (the South Korean drama’s ultimate stretch) is right here, and it’s filled with blink-and-you’ll-miss-them particulars.
The preview begins with the guards ushering a black coffin — the identical ones useless our bodies are carted off in, after all — into the dorm. When the opposite surviving gamers open it, they discover Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) inside, and he slowly opens his eyes. He’s later proven handcuffed to a mattress railing.
Then, we get a glimpse of the primary new sport of the season (which was initially written because the second half of Season 2). The gamers, who’re nonetheless sporting their X and O patches as symbols of their votes to finish or proceed the video games, should flip the dial on a gumball machine stuffed with pink and blue balls. We don’t know for positive what the colours imply, however judging by the look of absolute despair on the faces of mother-son pair Geum-ja a.ok.a. Participant 149 (Kang Ae-sim) and Yong-sik a.ok.a. Participant 007 (Yang Dong-geun) share after drawing reverse colours, it’ll very probably pit them towards one another. (She’s later proven sobbing uncontrollably, so that may’t be excellent news for this distinctive duo.)
It appears to be like like there’ll be no rapid punishment for the others who participated within the rise up however made it again to the dorms earlier than it was totally carried out, although, since Hyun-ju a.ok.a. Participant 120 (Park Sung-hoon) remains to be round. Nonetheless, the division between X’s and O’s is extra lopsided than ever, following the dying of many go away voters. A fast shot of the gamers lined up reveals there are virtually double as many keep voters nonetheless within the sport.
Later, Gi-hun is proven sporting a pink jersey over his inexperienced sweatsuit and apparently following a small path of blood by means of a sequence of concrete halls with a timer looming overhead. Might this be a sinister sport of hide-and-seek we’re seeing? Judging by her ready-to-punch posturing in her personal blue jersey, 120’s not taking place with out a battle, it doesn’t matter what sport it’s. We additionally see gamers with blue jerseys being handed small packing containers with the same old trio of shapes — the circle, triangle, and sq. — solely this time, they’re stacked as an alternative of facet by facet, which may very well be a touch on the sport at hand.
Within the trailer, we additionally see a desk with 5 masked folks — presumably VIPs — being set for a meal. In the meantime, Guard 11 a.ok.a. Kang No-eul (Park Gyu-young) remains to be operating subterfuge, proven crawling by means of the vents and lighting a match. And the cat-and-mouse sport between Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) and In-ho a.ok.a. Entrance Man (Lee Byung-hun) can even proceed, with the previous proven bursting by means of a elaborate door with an enormous gun — appears to be like like he’ll lastly discover the place once more, however will or not it’s too late?
Maybe most ominously, we see Participant 222 Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri) shedding a single tear because the trailer ends… with the sound of a crying child. What can that probably foretell?
