The Squid Game 2 scene that perfectly teases season 3

Show previewed final episodes in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it hint. Squid Game features a hidden scene that teases what to expect when the show returns for season three. The second instalment of Netflix’s most-watched TV show of all time arrived on Boxing Day (26 December), three years since it first took the world by storm.
However, while viewers have been mostly impressed by the follow-up and its new array of characters, they were left divided over the action-packed final episode, which ended with a cliffhanger teeing up what will be the third and final season in 2025. But there was one scene in particular which Squid Game’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has called a “hint” at the fallout to come when the show returns.
*Spoilers follow – you have been warned*. In the final episode of the show, Gi-hun AKA Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), who won the games in the first season, leads an uprising against the shadowy bosses in charge of the game by taking the weapons of the pink-costumed assassins who carry out the deadly challenges.
Unbeknownst to Gi-hun, his second time in the games has seen him make an ally of black-masked villain In-ho, known as The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who himself won the games years before. In the finale, In-ho– who Gi-hun knows as Young-il AKA Player 001 – fakes his own death before returning to his position behind-the-scenes.
