The images hint at a new series of challenges looming for the remaining players following an ill-fated attempt to overthrow the game.
As detailed by Netflix Tudum, the storyline of season 3 is set to progress from the shocking developments encountered in season 2’s finale. It promises to delve into Gi-hun’s struggles with despair as he navigates through treacherous decisions within the deadly games.
With the Front Man scheming his next move, the remaining players find their choices leading them down increasingly perilous paths with every round they compete in. This season is expected to intensify the suspense and emotional stakes, ensuring that audiences remain engaged from start to finish.
