The final season is here—and Squid Game: The Official Podcast is your ultimate companion to the end of the Game. Hosts Phil Yu and Kiera Please return once more to break down every shocking twist and betrayal, and the choices that will determine who, if anyone, makes it out alive. Will Player 456 and the cast of characters we’ve grown to love finally be able to dismantle the games for good? Or will the cycle continue? Alongside creators, cultural critics, and viral internet voices, Phil and Kiera provide their own theories for how the season ends, and what Squid Game ultimately reveals about power, sacrifice, and the systems that shape us. The biggest question isn’t who wins—it’s what it means to be human. Squid Game: The Official Podcast returns Friday, June 27th.
