People are still watching it and talking a lot about how the season ended.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"293\" data-end=\"470\">The new season picks up right after Season 2 ends. Gi-hun had tried to fight back and lead a rebellion, but it failed. Because of that, his friend Jung-bae and many others died.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"637\">The Front Man is getting closer to his goal. He wants to completely break Gi-hun\u2019s spirit. To do this, he makes the games even more cruel and disturbing than before.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"766\">The ending of the season has fans very divided. Some people liked it, while others thought it was too strange or too emotional.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"896\">Some things people are debating include a weird CGI baby, a surprise celebrity appearance, and some heartbreaking deaths.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"1045\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If you\u2019re curious or confused about the ending, a full recap of the final episode is available. You can also watch the whole season now on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"squid-game-season-3-ending-explained-who-won-the-34th-squid-game-fdf4be6b\"><strong>Squid Game season 3 ending explained: Who won the 34th Squid Game?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"230\" data-end=\"531\">The winner of the 34th Squid Game is a newborn baby. This baby is the child of Jun-hee (who was the original Player 222) and Myung-gi (Player 333). Jun-hee gave birth during a hide-and-seek game but got hurt badly. She couldn\u2019t move properly in the next game, which was jump rope, and sadly, she died.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"838\">Before Jun-hee passed away, Gi-hun saved her baby and promised to take care of them. After she died, the evil VIPs made a shocking decision. They said the baby should become the new Player 222 and continue in the game. This made the other players angry because it meant their money prize would be reduced.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1085\">There were nine players left. The game officials told them that they had to choose three people to die, and the rest could live and split the prize money. Six players teamed up and decided to get rid of Gi-hun, the baby, and Min-su (Player 125).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1424\">Gi-hun was called into a private meeting with The Front Man, who revealed that he is actually In-ho, the original Player 001. He warned Gi-hun that the other players were planning to kill him and the baby. In-ho gave Gi-hun a knife and said if he kills the others in their sleep, the game will end, and he can leave safely with the baby.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1623\">Gi-hun picked up the knife and went to one of the players, but before he could do anything, he saw a vision of Sae-byeok. She reminded him that he is not a killer. So, he didn\u2019t go through with it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1893\">The last game was called \u201cSky Squid Game.\u201d It took place on three tall pillars shaped like a square, triangle, and circle. To move ahead, someone had to be pushed off at each stage. The last person standing would win the money.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"2064\">Gi-hun teamed up with Myung-gi, the baby\u2019s father. But Myung-gi betrayed him and tried to kill him so he could win the money alone, even if it meant killing his own baby.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2066\" data-end=\"2226\">After a fierce fight, Myung-gi was defeated. Only Gi-hun and the baby (now Player 222) were left. But since the game needed one more to die, it wasn\u2019t over yet.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2495\">Throughout the season, The Front Man tried to break Gi-hun\u2019s spirit and make him lose his belief in kindness. But Gi-hun didn\u2019t give up his humanity. He gave one last message to The Front Man: \u201cWe are not horses. We are human. Humans are\u2026\u201d Then he sacrificed himself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2497\" data-end=\"2681\">Player 222, the baby, was announced the winner. The baby was sent to live with Detective Hwang Jun-ho, and a golden credit card with the full prize money (45.6 billion won) was included.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"2716\">\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"2716\"><strong data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"2716\">What Happened to No-eul?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2718\" data-end=\"2918\">No-eul, a female guard in the red uniform, had an emotional story. She used to live in North Korea and left her daughter behind when she defected to the South. Her goal was to find her daughter again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2920\" data-end=\"3121\">After the failed rebellion in Season 2, No-eul was ordered to kill one of the players, Player 246, whose daughter had blood cancer. But instead of killing him, she helped him fake his death and escape.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3123\" data-end=\"3286\">Later, she returned to the island because her boss threatened to hurt Player 246\u2019s daughter. She demanded that all records of Player 246 be erased from the system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3288\" data-end=\"3479\">While deleting his files, she found her own. The records said her husband and daughter had died. She was heartbroken and almost took her own life, sitting in the Front Man\u2019s chair with a gun.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3481\" data-end=\"3570\">But when she learned that Gi-hun had died to give the baby a future, she felt hope again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3572\" data-end=\"3758\">In the final scenes, No-eul is at a theme park, getting her portrait painted by Player 246, who doesn\u2019t recognise her. His daughter is now healthy, thanks to donations for her treatment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3760\" data-end=\"3961\">Suddenly, No-eul gets a call from a person she hired to find her daughter. They tell her they may have found her daughter alive and living in China. Now it\u2019s up to the viewers to decide if that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3760\" data-end=\"3961\">\n<p data-start=\"3968\" data-end=\"4012\"><strong data-start=\"3968\" data-end=\"4012\">Why Cate Blanchett Appears in the Finale<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4014\" data-end=\"4242\">Famous actress Cate Blanchett appears at the end of the show. She plays a mysterious recruiter who invites people to join the Squid Game by playing ddakji. She appears in an alley in Los Angeles, just as The Front Man drives by.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4244\" data-end=\"4436\">The show\u2019s creator said he cast her because she has a strong screen presence, not because of any planned spin-off. But her appearance hints that the Squid Game might be happening in America now.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4438\" data-end=\"4573\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-there-be-another-season-03e40b36\"><strong>Will there be another Squid Game season?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"165\" data-end=\"398\">The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has said that Gi-hun\u2019s journey has officially come to an end. He also shared that making the show was very intense, and he\u2019s not sure if he has the energy to do another full season himself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"553\">However, he didn\u2019t say no to future Squid Game spin-offs. So, even though the main story is finished, the Squid Game universe might continue in new ways.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"861\">In an interview, actor Lee Byung-hun, who plays The Front Man (In-ho), hinted that a show about his character could be coming soon. He said it would be really exciting to go deeper into The Front Man\u2019s backstory. He even said he would love to play the role again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1037\">Byung-hun explained that he finds the character very interesting and wants to explore him more. He knows that fans are curious about The Front Man, and he feels the same way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1350\">At the end of Season 3, we saw a flashback that revealed something important: In-ho was once a Squid Game player himself. Just like Gi-hun, he was given a knife and told to kill the other players in their sleep. But unlike Gi-hun, he did it and won the game.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1571\">This shows how In-ho became cold and heartless. A spin-off could explore how he changed over time and what led him to become The Front Man. It might also follow him running the Squid Games in a new location, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1613\">\n<p data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1613\"><strong data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1613\">Could Gi-hun\u2019s Daughter Return?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1872\">If the spin-off takes place in LA, there\u2019s a chance we could see Gi-hun\u2019s daughter again. Now that her father is gone, she might start asking questions about what happened. She could begin her own investigation, uncovering the dark secrets behind the games.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"1979\">This could add a new emotional and mysterious side to the story, as she tries to get justice for her dad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One month after Squid Game Season 3 came out, it\u2019s still in the top 10 most-watched shows on Netflix UK\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":82038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[4003,30231,30903],"class_list":["post-82037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-squid-game","tag-squid-game-3","tag-squid-game-season-3"],"reading_time":"7 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
