The third and final season of Squid Game is a cynical look at humanity, with a surprisingly hopeful ending—here’s the season 3 finale, explained.

The streamer has renewed Squid Game: The Challenge for a third season, matching (for the moment) the number of seasons for the Korean blockbuster on which it’s based. Netflix has also set a Nov. 4 premiere date for season two of the competition.

So, those of us who’ve actually made it to the end of Squid Game will know that the third and final season concludes with the sinister games being brought to an end in Korea, although our hero Gi-hun doesn’t make it out alive.
