There’s an Intense Alternate Ending to Squid Game Season 3 – and It Changes Everything

The Squid Game finale had an alternative ending that changes everything.

The Squid Game finale landed on Netflix last month, and the record-breaking TV series has officially come to an end. Well, as far as we know, anyway. Whispers of a US iteration have been circling, but the streaming service is yet to confirm or deny the rumours - meaning that fans will have to take the most recent instalment as its last (for now, at least).

Anyone who has already binge-watched Squid Game season 3 will know that things didn't tie up particularly neatly. In fact, Gi-hun's death came as a huge shock to fans who were convinced he'd find a way to outsmart the system. However, there is an alternate ending whereby Player 456 does in fact make it out of the games alive twice - but creator Hwang Dong-hyuk decided to change the protagonist's fate for a very interesting reason.
