Here's the official synopsis: "While the reality rendition of 'Squid Game' doesn't carry life-or-death stakes, the stakes are still high. 456 contenders will vie for a $4.56 million prize, marking the largest cash reward in reality television history. Each player will face demanding games that push them to their limits, prompting them to ponder just how far they're willing to go for victory, with alliances forming, ruthless strategies employed, and well-timed betrayals in the mix."
Despite its high-profile status, the show courted controversy in January when Variety reported that several participants required medical attention due to exhaustion and challenging weather conditions, resulting in collapses during production. The series was filmed in studios in the UK. As the premiere of "Squid Game: The Challenge" approaches, be sure to catch the official trailer above.
