Netflix has officially announced that "Squid Game: The Challenge", its reality show inspired by the sensational hit Squid Game, is set to premiere on November 22nd. With a grand prize of 4.56 million USD at stake, the show will see 456 participants battling it out. Given the timing, it's anticipated that many American families will be tuning in during the Thanksgiving holiday.
The decision to produce a reality series didn't come as a shock to many, considering the overwhelming success of the original Squid Game series since its 2021 launch. Nevertheless, the journey to the show's release hasn't been without its controversies. Netflix faced scrutiny after reports emerged about medical incidents on set.
Amidst these developments, Netflix has also confirmed a second season for the original Squid Game series, teasing the audience with the introduction of new cast members, though a specific release date remains under wraps.
