Extremely Hard

by

Star Lee Jung-jae provides a sneak peek about Season 3 of Squid Game, sharing that filming the final game was extremely difficult. Originally created by Hwang Dong-hyuk and streaming on Netflix, this popular series came back for its second round in December following its initial release in 2021. Lee’s character Seong Gi-hun is seen trying to defeat the titular games in Season 3 of Squid Game, which has been confirmed as its final season. The anticipated release date for this record-breaking show is June 27th.

In a chat with The Credits, an online publication from the Motion Pictures Association, Lee offers a sneak peek about Squid Game season 3. He hints that the concluding game in the series was particularly difficult to execute. While he doesn’t reveal the specifics, it seems like audiences can anticipate a grueling final test for Gi-hun to round off the show. Here’s what Lee had to say about it:

[Lee’s comment]

As the first season progresses, Gi-hun finds himself growing increasingly challenged, both physically and mentally. Among all the games played, I believe the final game of the first season, known as Squid Game, was the hardest to film. Overall, I consider the last round that will be featured in season 3 to be the most demanding and challenging of them all – it was particularly difficult to shoot.

What This Means For Squid Game Season 3

How Season 2 Sets Up Even Deadlier Games

In the second season of Squid Game, Gi-hun’s rebellion ultimately falters. Undercover as a participant, Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) halts the revolt by shooting Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), Gi-hun’s closest ally. As the third season begins, it appears that Gi-hun will find himself in a state of vulnerability and defeat. It’s clear that his involvement in the games is far from concluded, and there’s even more intrigue hinted at after the end credits, which sets up Gi-hun’s storyline for future episodes.

Following the conclusion of the main events in Squid Game season 2, the mid-credits scene hints at a return for Young-hee and a new character, Chul-su, who is introduced as the male counterpart to the giant “Red Light, Green Light” doll. This suggests that a more lethal version of this classic game might be in store for Squid Game season 3. It appears that Lee survives this challenge based on Lee’s comment. Unlike the one-on-one battle at the end of season 1, it seems that season 3 will introduce a different format for its final game.

Our Take On Lee’s Squid Game Season 3 Tease

The Final Game Shouldn’t Lose Its Focus On Gi-hun

The popularity of Squid Game can largely be attributed to its unique games and intriguing plotline. The games feature various elements that cater to different character abilities, and luck plays a role as well. However, what makes these games stand out is that they are all based on familiar childhood games, which is expected to continue in season 3.

Despite the first season’s finale not being overly complex or as intricate as the marbles game, it was exhilarating due to its high-stakes and emotional resonance with Gi-hun. The final game in season 3 appears to promise more complexity, but I hope it maintains that same level of tension and character-driven intensity. There are many unanswered questions about Squid Game season 3, but it seems the show is gearing up for a dramatic conclusion.
