Netflix has officially announced that its new Squid Game: The Challenge series will be arriving this November. Based on the concept of the original show, without the life or death element, 456 players will be competing in a series of games to win a prize of $4.56 million USD, the largest cash prize in reality TV history.
“Through a series of games, each player will be pushed to their limits and forced to ask themselves just how far they’ll go to win, with opportunistic alliances, cutthroat strategies and timely betrayals to follow,” writes Netflix.
The mood of the show is set to be much more intense than that of Mr. Beast’s unofficial competition which gave out a prize of $456,000 USD. Earlier this year, it was reported that a number of the show’s contestants required medical assistance while filming took place in the United Kingdom, with a number of individuals seen stretchered off the premises after the first “Red, Light, Green Light” round.
Stay tuned for more details to surface in the coming weeks.
