View Date:2024-12-24 00:25:24
Fans of hit Netflix show "Squid Game" and reality television are getting a special treat this fall: "Squid Game: The Challenge" is coming in November.
According to Netflix, 456 players will compete to win $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in Netflix's reality TV history. And no, the eliminated players do not face the same grim demise as the characters in the original show.
"As they compete through a series of games inspired by the original show - plus surprising new additions - their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them," the synopsis reads.
"Squid Game" premiered on Netflix in September 2021. The first season of the South Korean blockbuster consisted of nine episodes that were all released at the same time.
Season 1 saw hundreds of impoverished and indebted people maliciously recruited for a series of children's games where the stakes were life and death. The sole survivor and winner of the games would receive 45.6 billion Won (roughly $34 million).
The series featured children's games from South Korean culture, including a version of "red light, green light," a game in which contestants tried to scrape shapes out of dalgona candy with a needle, tug of war and the squid game.
