Hidden detail proves Squid Game Season 3 will be the best yet

by

Should you not be sufficiently thrilled about the prospect of Squid Game Season 3, a covert aspect from Season 1 of the Netflix series hints that we’re in store for an even more exhilarating journey as the show approaches its climactic end.

Instead of expecting a tough time convincing people about a series featuring grown-ups competing in kids’ games, Hwang Dong-hyuk defied our expectations when he released Squid Game in 2021. This unexpected hit swiftly gained worldwide attention for its incisive social messages, striking imagery, and, of course, the intense competition and challenges.

After the suspenseful finale of Season 2, everyone is eagerly anticipating what will transpire next. However, a seemingly inconspicuous scene from Season 1 could be the most telling indication thus far about how far along this final conflict has been planned out.

At the beginning of the story, after Seong Gi-hun (also known as Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae), victoriously concludes a round, he visits an ATM to withdraw part of his newfound 45.6 billion won fortune. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the gold card’s expiration date is in June 2025 – coincidentally the same month when Season 3 is set to premiere.

Squid Game Season 3 will be the “craziest” chapter yet 

Although it might seem like a mere coincidence, the phrase used during Gi-hun’s intense confrontation in the VIPs’ words – ‘Good rain knows the best time to fall’ – could be seen as deliberate foreshadowing by writer Dong-hyuk. Since he meticulously crafted every detail, it is more likely that this was a strategic move on his part, signaling the precise moment when Squid Game would conclude.

What truly distinguishes Squid Game is that its creator, Dong-hyuk, knows precisely how it will conclude, which sets it apart. Unlike other successful non-English Netflix shows, Dong-hyuk didn’t feel the need to extend Squid Game unnecessarily to boost ratings.

From the outset, he’s been firm about his decisions and prefers to narrate his story according to his own guidelines. He comes back to work only when the script is polished and the meaning is unmistakable, even at the cost of his dental health.

You can anticipate even more surprises and character conflicts in the third and last season, as Jung-Jae mentioned to Deadline earlier this year, hinting that it will be distinct from Seasons 1 and 2 with an added layer of complexity.

Dong-hyuk explained, “This upcoming season will be unpredictable, and it may leave you confused about our destination.” He further emphasized, “It’s an incredibly wild ride. It’s insanely exciting, insane, and insane again – it’s the most thrilling season finale we’ve ever had!

So far, none of these characters’ decisions have disappointed us, from the heart-wrenching dilemma between Kang Sae-byeok (Jung Ho-yeon) and Ji-yeong (Lee You-mi), to the shocking act of treachery by Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) in the season 2 finale. Each character’s move carries significance.

It’s clear that the same level of care and meticulousness has been applied to the final stages, without a doubt. Here’s what we can expect: In Season 3, Gi-hun will intensify his efforts to dismantle these games from within, while the Front Man readies himself for his next strategic move, creating all the ingredients for an exhilarating confrontation.

The arrangement for this series is perfectly suited, as it’s never been solely about visual excitement. Of course, we can expect a mix of disorder and destruction, but Squid Game has always reflected our own societal structures. Hwang Dong-hyuk’s concluding chapter promises to maintain this balance, delivering resolutions for the characters with the same thoughtfulness and finesse that made Season 1 so captivating.

Given the numerous unanswered questions and the significant implications at play, it seems we’re heading towards a climax that will be as intense and captivating as the show itself. If the gold card clue is any indication, Dong-hyuk’s final move has been planned since the beginning – he’s ready to take his biggest gamble yet.

Looking forward to the anticipated third season of “Squid Game” on Netflix, set to premiere on June 27, 2025! In the meantime, indulge in our speculations regarding potential character deaths, the chilling reasons why “Mingle” is the most distressing game, and the intriguing rumors surrounding the real-life origins of this captivating series.
