Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 has been confirmed by Netflix following the huge success of the first installment.
On Wednesday, December 6, Squid Game: The Challenge crowned its first winner after the tense competition whittled players down from 456 to just three final contestants.
Now, you could be among the next 456 players hoping to follow in the footsteps of the three finalists, taking home a huge cash prize. In the first season, it was a whopping $4.56 million.
Announcing the news, Brandon Riegg, Netflix VP of Nonfiction Series said: "There was no red light in our decision to greenlight season two of Squid Game: The Challenge, the most ambitious unscripted show we've premiered at Netflix.
"We're so excited to continue the franchise of Squid Game with our team in Korea, and producers at Studio Lambert and The Garden for this epic competition series."
Here's what we know about Squid Game: The Challenge season 2...
Who won Squid Game: The Challenge season 1?
After a nail biting season, Squid Game: The Challenge episode 10 revealed that Mai (Player 287) is the winner of the huge $4.56 million prize after a very tense game of rock, paper, scissors.
55-year-old Mai was born in Vietnam before she moved to the US where she spent two decades in the navy, then worked as an immigration adjudicator before retiring. And with a huge cash prize in hand, she's going to have a brilliant retirement!
Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 release date

Which games will feature in Squid Game: The Challenge season 2?
Right now it's unclear whether contestants will be playing the same games as season 1, which featured a number of iconic Squid Game scenes such as Red Light, Green Light, Sugar Honeycombs (not the dreaded umbrella!), and the most tense game of Marbles you'll ever witness.
Season 2 could choose to keep the same format or surprise contestants with some brand new games. As soon as Netflix has confirmed it, we'll give you updated with all the latest news.
