Netflix has revealed a trailer for the streaming giant's new reality competition series based on the hit dystopian Korean drama Squid Game.
In the teaser for Squid Game: The Challenge, which is set to be released in November, a warehouse is used to construct an elaborate set where contestants battle through a series of games, inspired by the original show.
The 10-part competition will see entrants try to win a prize of 4.56 million dollars (€4.15m) as they are seen being watched by a similar doll to the Korean series while wearing comparable green tracksuits.
There will be 456 real players entering the game – and in each round contestants are eliminated when their strategies, alliances and characters are put to the test.
However, the streamer confirmed when it announced the show in 2022 that the players will not face the deadly consequences of the drama series, and their worst fate will be going home empty-handed.
Netflix has also announced that The Acolyte star Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo would be returning for season two of the show Squid Game.
The dystopian Korean drama series was described as the streaming giant’s "biggest TV show ever" when it was released in 2021.
