What the Squid Game Season 3 Teaser Reveals
The brief but intense teaser opens with a slow pan toward a black coffin, surrounded by masked guards in the signature pink jumpsuits.

Is Gi Hun Alive or Dead? Theories Explored
Season 2 ended with Gi Hun vowing to take down the organizers of the deadly games. The new teaser suggests he may have been captured or even killed, but fans suspect a twist. Some believe the coffin could be a psychological tactic or a fake-out to mislead viewers.
