Lee Byung-hun speaks to The Hollywood Reporter about the enigmatic character who faces off with Gi-hun in season two (and season three, when the Netflix hit returns).

The layers come into play, though, when you start moving those pieces around the game board, and Squid Game does a brilliant job of that in its second season, when it puts the Front Man into the game as player 001—except the viewers are the only ones who know who he really is.

Gi-hun's lack of character development in Season 2 of Squid Game downplays the intelligence and humanity he needed to win in Season 1.

While Netflix has established that season 3 of Squid Game is coming in 2025 in multiple promos for its content in the coming year, they may have accidentally let the exact date slip.

Hwang Dong-hyuk tells The Hollywood Reporter what's ahead for Gi-hun and the Front Man when the streamer's smash success returns with season three in 2025.

Netflix has reportedly revealed key details about Squid Game Season 3, including its release date. The final season of the global phenomenon is set to premiere in 2025. It will continue the intense journey of protagonist Seong Gi-hun.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Hwang allowed that Squid Game ‘s final third will focus on the two characters you’d most expect: Gi-hun, of course, as well as Lee Byung-hun’s Front Man. The latter slithered his way into the game as Player 001 and at times almost seemed to be sympathetic to Gi-hun’s desire to tear down the competition once and for all.

The Netflix crossover adds limited time modes for multiplayer, zombies and Warzone -- as well as a lot of paid bundles to the shop.
