Squid Game season 3 plot: What happens next?

The official log line for Squid Game season 3 reads: "The third and final season of Squid Game follows Gi-hun after losing his best friend in the game and being driven to utter despair by The Front Man, who was hiding his true identity to infiltrate the game.

"Gi-hun persists with his goal to put an end to the game, while the Front Man continues onto his next move and the surviving players' choices will lead to graver consequences with each round."

As we've already seen in the trailer, season 3 will pick up immediately after the end of season 2. The games restart, detective Hwang Jun-ho's search for the island continues and a broken Gi-hun deals with the aftermath of the revolt.

On top of that, it sounds like Jun-hee (Player 222) gives birth during the games as a baby's cry can be heard right at the end of the trailer.

What games are in Squid Game season 3?

In the trailer for season 3, a handful of brand new games are revealed but details about them are still being kept under wraps.

One game teases the players split into two teams, and then thrown into a deadly maze where it appears they have to fight against each other.

Another game teases a brutal game of what appears to be jump rope on what looks like a very high bridge. One ill-timed jump will almost certainly result in death. (We already see one player swept off the bridge in the trailer.)

At one point, Gi-hun dons a tuxedo which suggests he makes it through the final feast as we previously saw in season 1. But what happens beyond that? We'll have to wait until the final episodes drop on Friday 27th.

How many episodes are in Squid Game season 3?

There are reportedly six episodes in Squid Game season 3 and yes, they're all dropping at once. You won't have to wait for a Part 2 to drop.

However, once you've binge-watched all the episodes, that'll be it for Gi-hun's Squid Game journey as the series is officially over.

No episode titles have been confirmed yet but we'll update this article as soon as they're revealed.

• Episode 1: 'Keys and Knives'
• Episode 2: 'The Starry Night'
• Episode 3: 'It's Not Your Fault'
• Episode 4: '222'
• Episode 5: '○△□'
