In the new reality show “Squid Game – The Challenge”, 456 players face, among other things, the challenges that were already seen in the “Squid Game” series – all for a proud prize of $4.56 million (converted 4.27 million euros).
Although the games are inspired by the original series and have some surprises added to them, none of the participants have to worry about being eliminated once and for all. This time it’s not about life and death. Nevertheless, the game should also bring a lot of thrills. This can already be seen in the trailer for the new Netflix reality show.
In the game “Red Light, Green Light” there are apparently also snipers who track down moving people, but they are only marked with color and thus thrown out of the game. The first clip of the show also hints that there could be brotherhood and intrigue, just like in the South Korean hit series – so the reality show would also be an interesting social experiment, because strategies, alliances and characters are repeatedly brought up in the course of the game Tested.
“Squid Game – The Challenge”: on Netflix from November 22nd
The Korean survival drama “Squid Game” sparked global hype in 2021. To date, it is considered one of the most successful series on Netflix with more than 265 million views and over 2.2 billion streaming hours. A sequel is currently being worked on – contrary to what was initially announced, it is now only scheduled to start in 2025. It wasn’t planned by Hwang Dong-hyuk at all. After the immense success, the pressure from fans and those responsible at Netflix was so great that the director dealt with the topic again and developed a script for the second season.
“Squid Game – The Challenge” can shorten the waiting time for viewers a little from November 22, 2023. It is a unique and, above all, lucrative opportunity for the participants because it is the largest cash prize in the history of reality TV.
