Record-breaking prize money

The stakes in the real-world Squid Game aren't quite as high as in the fictional version, but they're still high. The total cash reward is $4.56 million, making it the highest in the history of reality television. Everyone will be tested to their limits over the course of a series of games, and they'll have to decide how far they're willing to go to come out on top.

On November 22nd, Netflix will release the first episode of Squid Game: The Challenge. The United Kingdom served as the setting for all ten episodes of the competition series.

Brandon Riegg, vice president of unscripted and documentary programmes at Netflix, said in a statement that Squid Game took the world by storm with Director Hwang Dong-hyuk's captivating story and iconic imagery. They appreciate his help as they bring this fantastical universe into this grand competition and social experiment.
