“The world’s most notorious game becomes reality.”
That’s how Netflix is describing its new competition series, Squid Game: The Challenge that’s dropping in November.
The streamer didn’t reveal much about the game based on its runaway hit Squid Game, other than to show how they transformed a massive warehouse into a spot where 456 players will compete or a $4.56M cash prize – the largest cash prize ever for a reality series.
The ten-part series will see contestants competing in a series of games inspired by the show plus some new ones and their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them.
