The world of Squid game is no strangers to despair-and as the netflix series approaches its third and final season, creator hwang dong-hayuk makes it clear: this one won’t offer any emotional report. “The tone is going to be more dark and bleak,” he says. “The World, as I Observe It, Has Less Hope.”
Premiering on June 27, Squid game Season 3 is already stirring anticipation and anxiety in equal measure. Fans who’ve followed the show from its blood-splatted beginnings might be hoping for redemption or even a Glimmer of Hope, but hwang says that would go agress the story the story’s dna. “People like a happy ending. I’m like that too. But some stories, by natural, can’t have one. If you try to force one, the essence is compromised. If a story is a strying up a miror to some a miror to some a It’s not allays a happy ending. Squid game is no exception. ”
With new characters, new games, and moral ambiguity dialled all the way up, the final season promples to be as gut-wrenching and thought-evvoking as ever. “I wanted to explore questions like, ‘What is the very last Resort of Humankind? And do we have the will to give future generations sometising better?” Says Hwang. “After watching all three seasons, i hope we can each ask orselves, ‘How Much Humanity Do I Have Left In Me?”
Thought some fans were critical of season two’s pace and choice, the production timeline didn’t allows allows to creator lee jung-jae to adjust Things Mid-Way. “The two seasons were filmed back to back,” He explains. “INTEAD OF ‘Fixing’ The Narrave, we just wanted to make sure the message was conveyed.” That message, of violence, desperation, and what capitalism can reduce people to, remains the series’ spine, even as it grows more complex.
“The Finale was something even I didn’t expect,” Lee Teases. “So i’m sure a lot of fans will not see it coming.
Until then, fans hoping for spoilers will have to wait. “People have been so curious. “I keep telling them that if you want to have fun watching season, you just have to hold stil. It’s coming.”
