Lee Jung-jae revealed what he hopes viewers will take away from the dramatic season 3 finale of 'Squid Game' in an interview with 'The Hollywood Reporter' p Tuesday, July 8.

Squid Game’s most controversial characters return in season 3, and according to the Netflix series’ editor, we almost got more of them.

In Squid Game Season 3, the game continued with the surviving contestants from season 2 as they tried to survive the brutal games or win the prize money, which was also the goal of several players. While moving forward in the game, the players make numerous devastating decisions to either save themselves or to save their close ones.

The dust may finally be settling on Squid Game season three, but for those who can't quite seem to shake the dystopian Korean drama's games out of their heads, we thought it high-time to reflect on the games themselves that the players participated in throughout the show's third outing.

Squid Game Season 3 trimmed several VIP scenes in editing—and the reason behind it may just be what kept the tension razor-sharp till the end.

"Squid Game" season 3 premiered on Netflix on June 27, 2025, as the streamer officially announced earlier this January. There was six episodes total, down from the seven-episode second season.
