Netflix Releases Trailer for 'Squid Game: The Challenge', Reality Series Based on Hit South Korean Drama

Reality Competition will Air on November 22 with a Grand Prize of $4.56 Million, Show Accused of Inhumane Conditions on Set

Netflix has released the trailer for 'Squid Game: The Challenge,' a reality series based on the hit South Korean drama, set to air on November 22 with a grand prize of $4.56 million.
The competition will include 456 contestants, competing in a series of games inspired by the original show's deadly challenges, though in this real-life version, contestants are eliminated, not killed.
The trailer reveals the faithful recreation of the original games, including the iconic Red Light, Green Light game where black ink is released under the contestants' shirts if they get caught moving.
Critiques surround the show, with some arguing it misses the critical commentary on capitalism inherent in the original, turning the deadly drama into entertainment.
Contestants are anticipating making and breaking alliances as per the series, with one contestant heard saying in the trailer, 'I'm gonna be your best friend but I will absolutely double-cross you.'
Earlier this year, concerns were raised about allegedly dangerous and inhumane conditions on set, but Netflix and producers denied these allegations, claiming any serious injury reports are untrue. Nonetheless, footage shows contestants collapsing on set from cold and fatigue.
