Squid Game: The Challenge is coming back for another season.
Netflix has ordered a second season order of the popular high-stakes reality show, based on the even more popular Korean survival drama.
The reality series starts out with 456 real-life contestants who go on to compete in similar challenges from the flagship show – though no one gets shot on sight if they lose, obviously (The contestants do wear a packet full of red ink under their shirts which explodes when they lose the challenge, for that added creepy effect). The to-be-determined winner will take home $4.56 million, the largest single cash prize in game show history.
The season finale of Squid Game: The Challenge will stream live on December 6 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT (December 7, 2am GMT), when the winner of the $4.56 million reward will be announced. For more, check out our list of thebest Netflix showsto stream right now.
