Director Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that the final season will be “darker and more brutal than Season 2.” The upcoming arc will mix the innocence of childhood with the cruelty of fate, digging deep into each player’s moral dilemmas. The series is questioning everything: society, power, and whether humanity can truly rise above.
Art director Chae Kyoung Sun has also teased a visual feast with meaning ingrained into every corner. Season 3’s aesthetic leans heavily on the symbolism of poisonous plants: vibrant, beautiful, and deadly. She designed VIP rooms using colors that are all about elegance combined with danger. “If Season 1 was the jungle, Season 3 is a floral trap,” she explained.
