The expected final season of The Calamar game opens this Friday at 4:00 p.m. local South Korean (7:00 GMT) in Netflix, with six new episodes that promise to close the story that captivated millions worldwide with a «insane» ending and, perhaps, «definitive.»

This last installment, of six episodes and that has new games and a plot more similar to that of the first season, will feature a «insane» end, said director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, on June 13, in the presentation of the series in London.

He added that it is the definitive closure of a project that has occupied him for the last six years. «I never imagined this level of success. It’s time to say goodbye, ”Hwang said to the media.

However, the words of the actor Lee Byung-Hun, who plays Front Man in the series, during a recent interview in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon left the door ajar to future extensions of the universe. «I’m not sure, but there is a possibility,» said the actor when asked about a possible ‘spin-off’ focused on his character. «You never know what can happen.»

As for the plot of the final season, director HWang explained, at a press conference, at the beginning of the month, in Seoul, which will be a confrontation between the protagonist Gi-Hun, played by Lee Jung-Jae, and Front Man on his fundamental beliefs about humanity. Its objective is to raise the question of whether humans are able to build a better world.

Lee Jung-Jae was very excited, in London, remembering the impact that the series had on his life and pop culture. «I will never forget the responses of the global public. Until the day he dies, ”he said.

With 192.6 million viewers, season 2 of ‘The Squid’s game’ was the third most popular on the platform, behind ‘Wednesday’ (‘Wednesday’) and the first season of the same South Korean series. EFE.
