The most watched series on Netflix is now not just fiction. After the streaming platform created the biggest reality competition named: Squid Game : The Challenge. Unlike the series where players put their lives on the line, the biggest threat of the 456 players in the competition was simply to go home without taking home 4.56 million US dollars.
That's what Netflix says is the biggest value in reality TV history. "Squid Game" has become the most-watched series on Netflix since its release in September 2021 and features nine episodes that tell the story of people down and trying to fix their lives by following various childhood games.
The stakes for the prize of 45.6 billion won became even higher, until lives became the reward. The first season broke the record as Netflix's most popular series of all time, watching over 1.65 billion hours in the first 28 days of its release. Meanwhile, the 10-episode reality competition show will include games inspired by the original series, as well as new games, Netflix said.
The reality show will be recorded in the UK and has only been cast for English speaking people so far. Recently, the director, writer and executive producer of "Squid Game" Hwang Dong-hyuk officially confirmed that the series will continue into a second season.
Netflix and Hwang will be collaborating again to deliver a continuation of this phenomenal story. Hwang also mentions a few characters that might reappear, including Gi-hun, Front Man, and the man in the suit who recruits with the game ddakji. In addition, this second season will also introduce Young-hee's boyfriend - the scary giant robotic girl in the first season.
