456 people strive to survive brutal challenges and backstabbing to take home a massive prize on Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge. The season one trailer shows contestants getting a taste of life inside the game, and taking part in the same challenges as the series that inspired it.
The 10-episode season will premiere on Netflix on November 22, 2023. Unlike most bingeable Netflix releases, Squid Game: The Challenge will drop episodes weekly, leading up to the December 6th finale.
“456 real players will enter the competition show in pursuit of a life-changing reward of Usd $4.56 million,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”

You’d think that volunteering to go on a reality TV series based on a show about a deadly competition would mean you were prepared to at least fake die — but based on the new trailer for “Squid Game: The Challenge,” that thought didn’t occur to every contestant.
In the new promo for the unscripted show, which debuts Nov. 22 on Netflix and will roll out new episodes through Dec. 6, 456 people are competing for the $4.56 million prize being offered, just like it was in the first season of the streamer’s Korean-language hit “Squid Game.” Of course, in this game, people’s lives aren’t actually on the line — but they still get fake “shot” during a game of “Squid Game’s” most iconic activity, Red Light, Green Light, and go tumbling to their “death” off a bridge in a later challenge. And being fake-killed is still shocking, as the first one “hit” goes “Oh,...

“We’re in Squid Game. Let’s get real. Let’s sink these ships,” a contestant says. “You can’t trust anybody in here,” another participant chimed in.
