Official Trailer for Taxi Driver 3 Released
The wait is over, and the first trailer for "Taxi Driver 3" confirms that the Rainbow Taxi Company is back in business. The iconic and chilling invitation from CEO Jang, played by Kim Eui Sung, opens the preview: “Don’t die. Let’s take revenge together.”
This immediately re-establishes the show's core mission. However, this season, the scope expands far beyond South Korea's borders. We see the protagonist, Kim Do Gi (Lee Jae Hoon), making direct contact with Interpol, signaling a major shift. The central plot will revolve around an international joint operation targeting a massive global network involved in human trafficking and illegal private loans.
The anticipation is building not just for the bigger scale, but for the deeper mysteries it will unravel. The trailer ends with two cryptic lines that have fans theorizing. “The beginning and the end of Taxi Driver” hints that this season could be a pivotal chapter, possibly even the final one for the team, potentially exploring the origins of the Rainbow Taxi service itself.
Furthermore, the mention of “A perpetrator who has never been revealed, until now” promises a formidable new villain, suggesting the series will delve into its own lore like never before. Alongside the promised overseas filming and more dynamic action sequences, Kim Do Gi's famous "undercover transformations" are also set to be upgraded, providing fresh intensity and entertainment in every episode.

Alongside the thrilling trailer, the production has been steadily releasing a series of first-look stills, giving us a glimpse of the beloved Rainbow Taxi team members and their new dynamics.

The team's leader, Kim Eui Sung as CEO Jang, is also back. The stills capture his dual nature perfectly.

Another still shows him in a serious meeting with a client, hinting at the new, dangerous missions he is orchestrating from the shadows.
Finally, the comedic engineer duo, Choi Kyung Goo (Jang Hyuk Jin) and Park Jin Uhn (Bae Yoo Ram), are back to provide the team's much-needed humor.
