The short video highlights some of the players in the green jumpsuits, which are now familiar. Over the course of the 48-second clip, different numbers are shown: 388, 222, 125, and so on. But that last number, 456, belongs to Gi-hun. He eyes the camera with a look of determination, which continues the Squid Game Season 1 closing scene in which Gi-hun promises to destroy those responsible for the deadly games. The teaser ends with the following text: the final game begins.

Squid Game Season 3 has already been confirmed as the show’s last, bringing an end to the South Korean thriller from creator Hwang Dong-hyuk. The creator had a historic win at the 74th Primetime Emmys as the first Asian to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. He’ll be continuing his role as director, writer, and producer.

Along with its record-breaking viewership, the thriller won several awards, including the Gotham Awards’ Breakthrough Series, the AFI Special Award, and six Primetime Emmy Awards.
