Netflix Is Expanding Its Squid Game Franchise With A New Squid Game Reality Show!!!
This is the biggest cash prize in the history of reality shows which the contestant will be able to win by competing in some silly games. Unlike the Squid Game series, the show will not kill anyone who fails at the game. There won’t be a death or life situation in Squid Game: The Challenge.
The creators of Squid Game: The Challenge have said the worst fate that the participants of the reality series might face would be going back home empty-handed. The creators of the reality series also said that the show is greatly inspired by Squid Game but will also have innovations. The creators added that they are grateful for the support that the Squid Game series’s director Dong Hyuk has given them in developing the reality series.
According to Netflix, Squid Game: New Challenge will consist of 10 episodes that have games similar to the ones in Squid Game. The show will have 456 contestants from all over the world who are competing for the $4.5m cash prize. The reality show is set to be conducted in the United Kingdom and will have only English-speaking contestants. From the little information that has already been released on the reality show, it seems like Squid Game: New Challenge is going to be a reality show that we have never seen.
On 12 June 2022, Netflix announced that they are all set to release the second season of Squid Game with a short teaser on social media platforms with the caption, “On your marks. Get set.
