After the massive success of the Korean series Squid Game, Netflix announces the biggest reality competition series ever, Squid Game: The Challenge. However, it will not be life or death that is at stake, as shown in the South Korean dystopian drama. Instead, 456 recruits from around the world will play games where ‘the worst fate is going home empty-handed’ missing out on a $4.56m prize.
This is really a huge cash prize. The Squid Game reality show is a co-production between Studio Lambert (The Circle) and The Garden (24 Hours in A&E), part of ITV Studios, and it will be filmed in the UK.
