• Netflix has created a reality show based on "Squid Game" two years after it became an international sensation.
• In "Squid Game: The Challenge," contestants compete in games inspired by the show to win $4.56 million.

"Squid Game: The Challenge" is the first official reality game show based on the Korean series of the same name.

In 2021, Netflix released Hwang Dong-hyuk's drama about people competing in lethal games in order to win money and get out of poverty. The show quickly became a global cultural sensation.

It inspired TikTok trends, YouTube videos, and some activist groups even started using the costumes from the show during protests.

Now, Netflix has turned the hit series into a reality show, adapting challenges from the game without the death element.

After the show was announced, some fans criticized Netflix for missing the message of the series — "Squid Game" was critical of modern-day capitalism and the exploitation of lower classes.

But Netflix has pushed on, and all ten episodes of the series will premiere on the platform on November 22.
