Caution: Spoilers ahead. Squid Game Season 3 receives a new trailer, 'It's time to play the final games'
Squid Game season 3 will pick up from where season 2 left off, right after 'Young-il' betrayed his armed rebellion group by killing two allied players, executing those who surrendered, and then proceeded to kill Gi-hun's best friend, Jung-bae, in front of his eyes.
While Gi-hun is yet to learn that his new "friend" Young-il is none other than the notorious masked Front Man (Hwang In-ho), fans hope that his identity is revealed at the beginning of season 3.
A fan wrote on social media, "It will be interesting to see how Gi-hun picks himself up after experiencing such a traumatic event, especially after finding out that Young-il is the Front Man and is the culprit behind killing his best friend."

This will be the third and final season of Netflix's beloved K-drama.
If you are searching for something to scratch the itch for dystopian survival thriller shows, we highly recommend giving Netflix's live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga 'Alice in Borderland' a watch. It's as gripping and intense as Squid Game and offers enough differences to make it stand out from similar shows in the genre.

Is there a new Squid Game? Finale sparks US spin-off rumors
ALBAWABA - As one of Netflix's most beloved series comes to an end, the finale of Squid Game has sparked widespread rumors about a potential US spin-off after revealing a specific scene with Cate Blanchett as a recruiter in Los Angeles. Caution: Spoilers regarding Season 3 ahead Squid Game's ending garnered mixed reactions on social media, with several fans deeming it lacking in the character development department and a "cash grab" for a potential sequel. On the contrary, others were satisfied with the ending for its "realistic" outcome. When it came to character development, the most debated character was Detective Hwang Jun-ho, who spent two entire seasons looking for the island where the games took place and his brother (the Front Man Hwang In-ho), only to reach it at the end, and do nothing. Squid Game Season 3 ended in Los Angeles, California, where Hwang In-ho handed over the 45.6 billion won prize money from Season 1 to Seong Gi-hun's daughter, following Gi-hun's controversial death after saving Player 222's baby. The scene then pans out to Hwang In-ho, who rolls down the window to Cate Blanchett, recruiting and brutally slapping a homeless American man in an alleyway while playing the iconic Ddakji game. While many fans were expecting Leonardo DiCaprio to make a cameo in the finale, Cate Blanchett took his spot, sparking excitement on social media for her According to What's on Netflix, rumors about a possible US spin-off started circulating in 2023 with American film director David Fincher (Fight Club) reportedly linked to the project. Scooper DanielRPK revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that the show will not have the 'Squid Game' name attached to it. While nothing has been confirmed by Netflix, scoopers across the internet have been hinting towards a US spin-off for some time. Despite many showcasing excitement about a possible spin-off, many remain sceptical about it, as they showcased concern for the franchise. A social media user wrote on X, "…why? There's already a Squid Game." Another added, "Americans can not see success and want to copy it. Allow the original Squid Game to be the only one ever created. It's so annoying. That's how they copied a successful Japanese anime series recently."

'Israeli' facility lets children play ‘terrorist hunters' in simulated Palestinian village
A controversial "Israeli" facility, dubbed Fauda Base, is facing backlash after reports emerged that it allows children as young as six to engage in simulated undercover military operations, including dressing up as "terrorists" and conducting mock raids on a fabricated Palestinian village. The center, located in central "Israel", takes its name from the hit Netflix series Fauda, which dramatizes the actions of an elite "Israeli" undercover unit known as mista'arvim. These units operate disguised as Palestinians, often carrying out lethal operations in the occupied West Bank. The facility is operated by veterans from such units in collaboration with the "Israeli" entertainment company YES, the producer of the series. While the Fauda Base website claims its activities are designed for teens aged 15 and up (12 in its English version), an undercover report by HaMakom revealed that children as young as six have been permitted to participate in shooting simulations. However, the facility later denied this, stating that the minimum age for participants is 16. The experience, marketed as a chance to "go undercover," offers visitors a hands-on glimpse into life as a covert operative. According to its promotional materials, participants engage in 'a special operation and saving human lives,' while wearing gear associated with undercover forces—including mock firearms, military fatigues, and costumes resembling traditional Palestinian attire. 'What will you do when you hear them scream? Have you always dreamed of going undercover? Now's your chance to know what it's like to battle undercover,' the homepage reads. Screencap from the Fauda Base website Activities unfold in a fictional setting called 'El Mahmoudiya,' featuring a market, restaurants, and buildings designed to simulate a Palestinian village. A separate "Bedouin village" experience is also offered, advertised as an "authentic" cultural retreat following the mission. Visitors are assigned roles that include mista'arvim agents, 'terrorists,' and civilians. According to HaMakom's investigation, some participants darken their teeth and wear keffiyehs or fake beards to mimic Palestinians. The experience includes elements such as Krav Maga, urban combat training, and target shooting—though the facility insists all weapons are airsoft and no human targets are involved. Despite criticism, Fauda Base operators claim the experience is apolitical and not meant to educate. 'The activity at the Fauda Base is an experiential activity, not an educational one, full of love for the Arabic language and culture which is part of every good mista'arv person,' they said in a statement. Critics argue the facility reinforces dangerous stereotypes and militarizes children in a deeply polarized context. The "Israeli" mista'arvim units have long been controversial; their operations have included assassinations in the middle of Palestinian cities and even deadly raids in hospitals, as occurred in Jenin last year.
