Netflix releases Squid Game 3 teaser with one major change from previous seasons

The third instalment of the hit Netflix series is set to shake things up a bit

The second season of Squid Game has only just dropped, but fans are already being teased about what the third instalment will have in store.

The hit Netflix series made its highly-anticipated return to the streaming platform on 26 December, three years after it's record-breaking debut in 2021.

A lot of viewers took advantage of their time off over the festive season and binge-watched the entire thing, so people are already hungry for more of the dystopian survival thriller.

And if you're one of those people, you are in luck - as a teaser for the third season has just been shared by Netflix.

Take a look at it here:

So, spoiler alert - it looks as though 'The Doll' is here to stay...but next time around, the creepy animatronic won't be alone.

The towering motion-sensor, named Young-hee, essentially runs the game 'Red Light, Green Light' in Squid Game and has the power to eliminate contestants.

I'm sure we all remember how her electronic eyes scan the field searching for any competitors wobbling or making a misstep - and the chilling consequences they face for getting caught.

And it appears that it will be even harder for the Squid Game contestants to avoid detection in the third series, as Young-hee has got some backup.

The 15-second clip shows The Doll standing opposite another animatronic, although this one is male.

Introducing him to the world, Netflix wrote alongside the video: "Everyone say hi to Chul-su. Squid Game 3 coming 2025."

So, who is this second killing machine?

Well, according to a video shared by Netflix on its 'Still Watching Netflix' YouTube channel, this new character is the yin to Young-hee's yang.

It explained: "As we find out over the course of the series, all the components of the games are rooted in South Korean childhood - specifically from the mid to late 1900s.

"Whether it be the games themselves, the set designs or the purpose behind it all."

But what's the story behind Young-hee and Chul-su dolls? Apparently, their South Korea's version of Jack and Jill, or Dick and Jane.

The clip continued: "South Korean school textbooks had two fictional children as their main characters, Chul-su and Young-hee.

"They were used to teach Korean kids about morals, good behaviours and to learn how to read and write."

But obviously, the pair will have a lot more sinister intentions in Squid Game.

Fans are already sharing their theories about what kind of torture this gruesome twosome will inflict, as well as what game they might be involved in.

One said: "My theory is that there is going to be a Jack and Jill game like Red Light Green Light...you have to go to the top of the hill, it's says green light...and if its says red light stop moving."

Another added: "My theory is that Chul-Su will stand behind the starting line, so the players cant hide, and Young-hee will stay behind the finish line, where she always was."

Regardless, everyone is expecting them to kick off season three with a challenge even more 'brutal' than anything we have seen so far.

There isn't an official release date for the third instalment yet, however the show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyu did hint that we wouldn't have to wait too long to find out more.

"At this point, anything I might say is going to be a spoiler, so I want to be cautious," he told Variety.

"But what I can say is, after season two launches, I believe we will be announcing the launch date for season three soon. I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall.

"How is Gi-hun going to carry on his mission? That’s the story that’ll further unfold."

So if you've still got a few episodes to finish of season two, take this as your sign to watch them as soon as you can.
