What caused In-ho to join the games? The answer is more complicated than you might think.
After getting a look at Squid Game players in the teaser, fans can see the “Red Light, Green Light” doll Young-hee along with a new male doll named Chul-su who is staring at Young-hee.
Since the doll has always been a huge part of Squid Game, imagining what could happen with a second one is exciting and unnerving. The killer doll is a favorite horror movie trope and adds to the overall eerie atmosphere in the Squid Game world. Along with the other great characters who came back for season 2, fans hoped they would see this doll again. And now they can look forward to an even more unsettling environment in the third season. There is no doubt that the new episodes will include emotional scenes, hard choices, and violent deaths. And, now that fans have seen this new doll, they can start imagining how this object will affect everything.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk shared that the Squid Game season 2 credits scene gives fans some valuable details about season 3. He said:
“That’s actually a [sneak peek] of Cheol-su, who, like Young-hee, is a new giant doll that we’re going to be showcasing in season 3. And that’s also a hint at the most exciting game in season 3 as well. So, while it hasn’t been shared yet, I hope everyone will be excited to meet Cheol-su and the new game.”
Fans are curious about what games could be played in Squid Game season 3. According to Cosmopolitan, there is a fan theory that the players could play Jack and Jill. Some viewers think that the players will have to gather water, but they will still be operating under the rules of the “Red Light, Green Light” game. If that is true, it sounds horrifying.
While Hwang shared that not everyone will love the Squid Game season 2 ending, no one can argue with the success of the series. Season 2 premiered in the number one spot in every country where Netflix can be streamed. According to Forbes, that is 93 countries, which is amazing. Considering the hype surrounding Squid Game season 3, it’s easy to imagine the final season being just as popular.
