'Squid Game' is a South Korean survival thriller set in modern Seoul. A group of 456 people is offered to play a series of children’s games for a chance to win a huge amount of money, but in case of failure, they will die.

In the new poster, a worker of the deadly games is holding a participant by the legs. Below them is the caption - 'Prepare for the final game'.

It should be noted that one of the most popular projects in the history of the Netflix platform was the second season of 'Squid Game'. The show collected over 152 million views and continues to set records, holding the first place in the rating, reports Variety.

The premiere of the second season took place on December 26. In four days, the show set a record, gathering 68 million views - the highest figure for a series debut on the platform. By the 11th day after its release, the view count had risen to 126.2 million.

By the way, the first season of 'Squid Game' became the most popular in Netflix's history: in the first 28 days after its premiere in September 2021, its views exceeded 1.65 billion hours. The series earned an estimated $837 million.

The screenwriter and director of both seasons, Don Hyeok, believes the new season is better than the previous one, writes Forbes. 'This Time you'll get a much brighter plot', - the publication quotes the director. The main character will face the Frontman - one of the organizers of the games, whose goal is to prevent Gi Hun from finishing the game.

In the new season, more young players participate in the games - this highlights the creators' observation that young people are increasingly falling into debt traps. One of the game participants, according to the plot, meets his own mother during the competition. Among the other players are a crypto influencer and a pregnant girl.
