Gumballs and babies are in play for Squid Game's final season teaser

Nothing lasts forever. One day the game’s afoot, and the next it’s game over. Such is the case in the world of television, where the likes of Squid Game will soon shuffle off its mortal coil for an eternity in the Netflix carousel, inspiring “absolutely inhumane” game shows and an American remake. Such is the way of things.

But before it heads to the big algorithm in the sky, Squid Game has one last round. The show’s third and final season hits Netflix this June, and to celebrate, Netflix and the Pink Guards have a gift for viewers and players alike. Debuting today, the first teaser for season three opens with the guards entering the player dormitory with a pink coffin containing, you guessed it, none other than Player 456, Gi-hun! That’s the bell: The game has begun, and as players contemplate what horrors come affixed to a giant gumball machine, a baby cries in the distance. Babies can’t play Squid Game. Babies can’t play Squid Game! Unless a new spin-off, Squid Game Babies, is in the cards. We’ll have to tune in to find out.
