The anticipation for Squid Game’s third and final season is building rapidly. The concluding installment promises to resolve numerous questions stemming from the dramatic cliffhanger of the second season. The series centers on 456 financially struggling players who compete in deadly children’s games for a chance to win substantial cash prizes. A central question for the final season is whether Player No. 456, also known as Seong Gi-hun, will ultimately bring an end to these perilous games.
Here are five central mysteries likely to be resolved in Squid Game Season 3:
1. **The Origin of the Squid Games:** While the games have been revealed to have been going on for many years, the origin of the games has yet to be disclosed. The final chapter is expected to reveal the genesis of these deadly competitions.
2. **Hwang In-ho’s Ascent to Front Man:** The second season provided a glimpse into Hwang In-Ho’s backstory and his decision to join the game as Player 001. It was revealed that he is the elder brother of police officer Hwang Jun-ho and entered the game because his wife was in a critical condition. He emerged victorious in the game during his participation. The final season is expected to explain how he ultimately became The Front Man.
3. **Hwang Jun-ho’s Pursuit of Truth:** Hwang Jun-ho is aware that The Front Man is his elder brother, who was presumed missing or dead. His relentless quest to uncover the island where the Squid Game takes place is a central storyline. The final season is anticipated to show whether Hwang Jun-Ho will reach the island and discover the truth about his brother.
4. **Gi-Hun’s Decisive Choice:** Gi-Hun, also known as Player No. 456, entered the game with the goal of exposing the truth and bringing an end to the events. He is expected to be a key player once again in the final season. A central question will be whether he will win the game again and potentially join the Frontman, or if he will choose to dismantle the entire operation.
5. **The Smuggling Operations:** In the first season, guards were observed smuggling the organs of deceased players. The details of this illegal business, including the identities of those involved, remain unknown. The final season is expected to shed light on this aspect of the game.
