2023-05-19 01:19:48 (London) – Netflix has announced that “Squid Game: The Challenge,” a spin-off of the wildly popular Korean series, will hit the streaming platform in November 2023. The news was revealed during Netflix’s first Upfront event, where the company showcased its upcoming programming and projects.
The 10-episode series, which was filmed in the UK, will follow a similar format to the original show. Contestants will compete in games where the losers are eliminated, with the last person standing winning a cash prize. However, there have been concerns about the safety of the games after reports that participants suffered serious injuries during filming.
Earlier this year, Netflix denied these allegations, stating that while it was cold on set, participants were prepared for that, and any claims of serious injury were untrue. Nonetheless, the controversy surrounding the safety of the show has heightened concerns about the ethics of reality TV.
