Netflix's original K-drama Squid Game may have ended in May, but Squid Game: The Challenge is back to continue the legacy of the franchise. If you missed season 1, the reality series followed an intense competition where 456 players from across the globe were whittled down to one winner, who walked away with $4.56 million. Despite production controversies (and the bleakness of the show's existence), season 1 proved to be a can't-look-away TV success, and another installment was quickly greenlit.
With season 2's first four episodes out on November 4, it's time to sort through the show's 456 new players to find the contestants worth knowing about. (If you think this sounds harsh, this is a show where half the cast is eliminated in the first 13 minutes.) Netflix shared a full guide with every player, but here we're highlighting the most memorable cast members in the reality show's first half.
