“Squid Game” has ended with season 3, but the franchise will keep on keeping on for the foreseeable future. Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has ideas for a spin-off while David Fincher is already working on a new “Squid Game” show, so there are plenty more pastel-colored deaths and unnerving playground games on the horizon. Before we get to that, though, there’s one important matter to settle.
The show has always revolved around two things: the game itself and Seong Gi-hun’s (Lee Jun-jae) attempts to survive and potentially overthrow it. Variations of the game are obviously destined to endure as long as it makes Netflix a profit, but how does Gi-hun fare in his task? Does he manage to survive the series finale to continue raging against the machine in the future?
Unfortunately, no, Gi-hun does not survive. Though the one-time winner is once again one of the two last contestants in the game’s final event, his Sky Squid Game ends with a dramatic plunge to his death as the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and the VIPs observe.
