Netflix has released a trailer for their upcoming reality show based on the hit series “Squid Game.”
The giant streamer also confirmed the show is set to drop on November 22. Previously, the company revealed the reality show was going to premiere in November at its Tudum fan event earlier this summer.
“Squid Game: The Challenge” will see 456 contestants from around the world battle it out through various challenges based on the Korean game show in the scripted series, as well as introducing some new games.
Only the winner will take home the $4.56 million cash prize.
“Though the reality version of ‘Squid Game‘ isn’t a matter of life or death, there’s still a lot on the line,” reads the show’s logline. “456 players will compete to win $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in reality television history. Through a series of games, each player will be pushed to their limits and forced to ask themselves just how far they’ll go to win, with opportunistic alliances, cutthroat strategies and timely betrayals to follow.”
However, the show has already been mired in controversy after contestants required medical assistance during the shoot, which took place in the U.K. during a surprise cold snap. A number of contestants — who were not paid for their participation— collapsed on set from a combination of cold and fatigue.
The show is produced by Studio Lambert — the same company behind the hit show “The Traitors” — and The Garden.
