Netflix has turned one of its most successful TV series into a reality show, where contestants could win a £3.5 million prize.
South Korean thriller Squid Game became an international hit when it premiered on the platform in September 2021. During its first 28 days, it earned 1.65 billion hours of viewing.
The show followed desperate, debt-ridden contestants as they fought it out to win a share of a huge prize pot. Only as the games progressed, they realised it was life or death, with people being eliminated in a variety of gruesome ways.
Now, Squid Game: The Challenge will see 456 real-life players compete for a $4.56 (or £3.52 million) grand prize. While the reality show won't be a matter of life or death, the series of games will see each player pushed to their limits.
