Duolingo and Netflix want ‘Squid Game’ fans to learn Korean…or else
Duolingo joined Netflix for a new campaign to help fans learn Korean ahead of the new season of “Squid Game.”
“Squid Game” fans awoke to a scintillating and suspenseful new look at the show’s third season earlier this week.
In a new trailer, released May 5, beloved characters return after Season 2’s violent cliff-hanger. Back to battle once again for their lives and a giant cash prize, the wordless preview sees contestants facing a series of high-stakes situations, involving guns, fists and an ominous giant gumball machine.
The viral dystopic show, which centers around main character Seong Gi-hun or Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), has delighted fans since its 2021 premiere, combining classic thriller elements with a deeper exploration of the human capacity for evil and the perils of an unequal society.
What did the ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 trailer reveal?
The new trailer reveals that Gi-Hun, after attempting to take down the creators in Season 2 and nearly paying with his life, is back in the games.
In a description of the trailer, Netflix wrote that he “will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone’s resolve.”
Season 2’s finale also revealed In-Ho (Lee Byung-hun), or Player 001, to be the Front Man, who entered the games posing as an ordinary player. In-Ho also returns, serving as a foil for Gi-Hun’s conscience.
“Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?” the trailer’s description teases. The preview also ends with a baby’s cry, offering yet another possible plot clue.
Why did Season 3 of ‘Squid Game’ come so quickly?
While fans waited anxiously for Season 2 after a mid-pandemic release of Season 1, Season 3 is arriving on Netflix more swiftly.
This is because Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back, resulting in a short six-month wait compared to the three-year hiatus between the first two seasons.
When is the ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 release date?
The third and final installment of the series, Netflix’s biggest global hit, will premiere on June 27.
