Here are the major twists and events that have fans talking as the final season of the show approaches its Netflix premiere:
1. Gihun’s Darkest Hour
After a failed insurrection and Jung-bae’s murder, Seong Gi-hun was left reeling by the cliffhanger of Season 2. In order to create the tone for a gritty, more emotional journey, the new video begins with him in despair, “at his lowest.”
2. Final Battle: Front Man vs. Gi-hun
The reunion of Gi-hun and Hwang In-ho (the Front Man)’s emotional and ideological conflict foreshadows a conflict over the fundamental principles of the series.
3. New Games, Greater Risk
The final trailer teases at least two shocking new games—from gumball teams to horrifying mazes and multiple Young‑hee dolls—promising bloodier, more psychologically taxing challenges.
4. Emotional Twists Involving Jun‑hee’s Baby
A chilling preview reveals Jun‑hee heavily pregnant during gameplay—and the haunting cry of a baby. This raises urgent questions about innocence, survival, and purpose.
5. Side by Side Loss and Loyalty
Tragically, we witness Geum-ja and Yong-sik split on opposing teams, underscoring the psychological toll of the cruel system.
6. VIPs Return & New Faces
The return of the mysterious VIPs looms large, and the post-credits introduction of Cheol‑su—the robot doll companion—hints at twisted childhood-themed games.
7. A Brutal, Final Chapter
The last season promises to be “very brutal, cruel, emotional and depressing,” with six episodes tying up character arcs and the world Hwang Dong‑hyuk built from the very beginning.
Why It Is Unmissable
The last chapter is this one: In order to avoid becoming what he hates, Gi-hun needs to confront his failure, identify his conscience, and destroy the games. Expect high emotional stakes with heart-wrenching splits and family drama woven through the chaos . The new games and final ideological showdown promise not just twists, but a powerful send-off to one of TV’s most iconic series.
Mark your calendars: Premiere drops on June 27
