There were twists and turns aplenty throughout the seven new episodes, as Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who won a massive ₩45.6 billion (£24.8 million) when he took part in the life-threatening game in season one, sets out on a warpath for revenge. Rather than choose to live his life freely with his newfound fortune, Gi-hun is hellbent on making the creators of the game pay for all of the misery they’ve caused and the lives they’ve taken.

However, his plan to infiltrate the game, convince the other players to be on his side and to go up against the dreaded Front Man isn’t as smooth-sailing as he would have hoped. Here’s what happened at the end of Squid Game season two ahead of the third outing being released next year.

As the audience discovers, Player 001 is actually The Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun) aka the top dog in the Squid Game charged with making sure the event goes smoothly. In the first season, he makes a fleeting appearance after his brother, the police officer Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) infiltrates the game to try and find him.
