Like ‘La Casa de Papel’, ‘Squid Game’ (El Juego del Squid in Spanish) is one of those media phenomena on the streaming platform, Netflix, that does not stop surprising the company.
That is why, in addition to the confirmation of a second season, and some adaptations, now a new version of the story has been added, but in a Reality Show format.
Later this year, Netflix expects to release The Squid Game: The Challenge.
According to a company report, 456 players will compete to win $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in reality television history. Through a series of games, each player will be pushed to their limits and forced to question how far they will go to win, with opportunistic alliances, ruthless strategies, and well-timed betrayals to follow.
