After a long delay between the show’s third and second seasons, the third season of Squid Game is coming less than a year after the second. Now, we’ve got our first trailer for the new season, and it follows up on the major cliffhanger that ended the show’s second season. The second and third seasons were filmed at the same time and written as a single long arc.

“What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist?” Dong-hyuk asked. We’ll find out when the show hits Netflix on June 27.

During a brief discussion at the Time100 Summit, Sarandos said that Netflix was “saving Hollywood.”
