If the $4.5 million is real…what else can we expect in Netflix’s reality version of ‘Squid Game’?⁠
⁠
Netflix recently released a teaser for its highly anticipated reality series, “Squid Game: The Challenge.”⁠
⁠
The show, which premieres on Nov. 22, follows 456 real-life contestants as they compete in a series of games inspired by the drama. It looks like we can expect to see the return of the iconic giant doll from the original series’ “Red Light, Green Light” game.⁠
⁠
While the series is obviously not a fight to the death, players will battle for a whopping grand prize of $4.56 million. This, according to Netflix, is the largest sum ever for a reality competition.⁠
⁠
The show has been embroiled in some controversy while filming in its U.K. studios. The “Red Light, Green Light” game was reportedly run in below-freezing temperatures, allegedly resulting in at least 10 people collapsing and one being stretchered out.⁠
⁠
Former players have also accused the competition of being “rigged.”⁠
“They made it seem like we all truly had a fair shot to actually win this money. It was already scripted. They already knew the people they wanted in the next round. That’s the part to me that was f*cked up,” one previously told Vice.⁠
⁠
In response, Netflix, alongside producers Studio Lambert and The Garden, called the allegations of serious injuries and rigged competition “simply untrue.” They said they have taken “all the appropriate safety precautions,” including “after care for contestants” and the involvement of an “independent adjudicator” to ensure that each game is “fair to everyone.”⁠
