Right at the end Kim Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), who was secretly expecting a baby while playing the game, looks straight into the camera with a tear down her face… which is then followed by a baby’s cry. 

The trailer has sent fans wild in the comments section of the post. 

One said: ‘Whoever had the pleasure of making this trailer, you did a hell of a good job. ‘

‘The Squid Game Season 3 teaser just shattered my soul. The tension, the chaos, the silence before the scream, this isn’t a show anymore, it’s psychological warfare.’

‘THE MOM AND THE SON LOOKED AT EACH๏τHER. THE BABY CRYING I ALREADY KNOW IMMA CRY THIS SEASON.’

‘The way this teaser didn’t even need dialogue but still managed to give me absolute chills.’

‘The blood, the music, the atmosphere and the cry at the end, Everything in this teaser is giving me the chills.’

‘Already know imma cry watching this season – the way the mom and son looked at each other just broke me.’

The trailer has sent fans wild in the comments section of the post - with many sharing how excited they are to see the show again

‘Literally no dialogue. Yet managed to send a chill down my spine.’

The end of series two ended with the remaining players rebel against the game, after finding out what was truthfully going on. 

Seong Gi-hun led the group and tried to take them down, but unfortunately it didn’t work out, and his life long friend Jung Bae (Lee Seo-hwan) was killed by Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). 

To make matters worse, he was oblivious to the fact that he has been growing close to the baddie throughout his time in the game – because Front Man has been pretending to be player 001, a man called Young-il.

The ending definitely brought a lot of questions to light and director of the show Hwang Dong-hyuk believes that there are still that need to be answered.

Speaking to Tudum, he said: ‘Is he still going to believe that he will be able to persuade others and leave together or put an end to the game?

‘Or will he give in and become a completely different person? Someone just like the Front Man, who thinks, “What can I change?”’

Back in January the release date for the next series of Squid Game was confirmed by Netflix after a viral leak.

Netflix released new images, providing a glimpse into what the third season could include.

One shows Gi-hun handcuffed to a bedpost, with a splash of what appears to be blood on his shoulder.

Meanwhile another shows the Front Man holding his mask on a plush armchair, deep in thought.

Squid Game’s third season will be available to stream in June on Netflix.
