The third and final season of Netflix’s hit show Squid Game has arrived, delivering shocking twists, emotional deaths, and a surprising winner. The season concludes with Gi-hun sacrificing himself to save a baby, while a cameo from Cate Blanchett hints at a possible American spinoff.
How Does Squid Game Season 3 End?
The final episode sees Gi-hun (Player 456), Myung-gi (Player 333), and a newborn baby (designated as Player 222) as the last survivors. The last game involves pushing opponents off towering platforms. Myung-gi, the baby’s father, tries to kill both Gi-hun and the child to win but falls to his death.
Since the game timer wasn’t activated before Myung-gi’s death, one more person must die. The VIPs expect Gi-hun to sacrifice the baby, but instead, he chooses to jump, ensuring the infant survives. His last words are, “We are not horses. We are humans.” The baby is declared the winner, receiving the prize money.
Who Dies in Squid Game Season 3?
Many major characters meet tragic ends:
Dae-ho (Player 388) – Killed by Gi-hun in a rage during Hide-and-Seek.
The Shaman (Player 044) – Stabbed by Min-su during a drug-induced hallucination.
Jun-hee (Player 222) – Dies by suicide after breaking her ankle in Jump Rope, leaving her baby behind.
Myung-gi (Player 333) – Falls during the final battle after betraying Gi-hun.
Gi-hun (Player 456) – Sacrifices himself to save the baby in the last moments.
What Happens After the Games?
Six months later, Jun-ho (the detective) finds the baby left at his doorstep with the prize money. The Front Man (In-ho) escapes, destroys the island, and visits Gi-hun’s daughter in the U.S., giving her his father’s jacket and remaining winnings.
The final scene shows In-ho spotting Cate Blanchett in Los Angeles, playing the Korean recruiting game ddakji with a desperate man. This hints that the deadly games may expand to America.
Will There Be a Season 4 or Spinoff?
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirms Squid Game ends with Season 3. However, Netflix is reportedly developing an American version, possibly directed by David Fincher. Blanchett’s cameo suggests this spinoff could explore a U.S.-based competition.
