Netflix just dropped a trailer for a disturbing new reality TV series based on the massively-watched South Korean drama known as Squid Game. As an explainer to those who somehow missed the show first time around, Squid Game is a fictional survival drama, where 456 debt-ridden people are handpicked to compete in a tournament to win a truly life-changing sum.
₩45.6 billion (US$35 million, €33 million, or £29 million at the time of broadcast) is up for grabs in the dystopian gameshow, but there's a bit of a twist. Those who fail to pass the challenges on a round-by-round basis are eliminated in a number of gruesome ways.
Shortly after launch in 2021, the drama was described as Netflix's 'biggest TV show ever' and following its widespread success, the streaming giant announced that they would be attempting to bring the show to life. It has now released the trailer for Squid Game: The Challenge, citing that the show will be landing on the platform come November.
