Numerous Netflix fans have been left unimpressed after the platform shared the first look at Squid Game: The Challenge, a reality show where people battle for money much like the popular fictional series. The show will transform the South Korean thriller into the biggest reality competition ever, the streaming service says.
While the reality version of Squid Game won't have the same life and death consequences, there is still a lot to lose. Netflix says 456 players will compete to win $4.56million (£3.65million) - the largest cash prize in reality television history.
Netflix says the show will work via a series of games, where "each player will be pushed to their limits." And "forced to ask themselves just how far they'll go to win, with opportunistic alliances, cutthroat strategies and timely betrayals to follow."
