Recently, on the social networking platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Netflix posted a teaser for season 3 of this survival series, which had previously announced to the international media that a new season was in the works.

The previous model of the little girl doll was Younghee, a giant machine with a “search and destroy” function, surprising hundreds of players in the deadly arena with its head that can rotate 360 degrees. In the newly released teaser, the little girl doll Younghee once again appears in the arena of the game Red Light, Green Light, with her back to the player. Opposite the Younghee doll is Chul Su. Season 3 is currently in production and will air in 2025.
