Netflix Inc. is bringing its record-breaking “Squid Game” show to life with a new reality competition series called “Squid Game: The Challenge.”
The streaming giant is hoping to build on the popularity of its biggest show launch ever. The new 10-episode series will feature 456 real-world contestants pursuing the largest lump-sum prize in reality show history, $4.56 million. The program will mimic the scripted series, in which a group of people with debts to pay compete in versions of childhood games to win money as super-rich VIPs watch.
