‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Officially Has the Green Light for Season 2
It's been a long time since Squid Game first premiered on Netflix and took the world by storm. While waiting for Season 2, Netflix has treated audiences to a reality spin-off, Squid Game: The Challenge, which appears to be a hit in its own right.
It takes the same premise as the original scripted show: a group of 456 contestant compete for $4.56 million by completing a number of deceptively challenging games. While the original show killed off contestants if they failed, the reality series simply sends contestants back home. Despite the far safer consequences, however, the stakes are still high. There's real money on the line, and Squid Game: The Challenge has players who are desperate to have it.
As the series winds down, however, fans are starting to wonder about the future of the series. Is this just a one off to promote the upcoming season of Squid Game (which still doesn't have a confirmed release date), or is Netflix planning to create a spin-off franchise separate from the drama that inspired it? Before there's another season of the original Squid Game, we could see a second or even third season of Squid Game: The Challenge if Netflix deems the reality competition show popular enough and worth the hassle of wrangling hundreds of contestants.
You've got questions, and we've got answers for you. Here's what we know about Season 2 of Squid Game: The Challenge.
Netflix has officially given Squid Game: The Challenge a second season.
On the same day as the show's Season 1 finale dropped, Netflix announced Season 2 of Squid Game: The Challenge. The series was clearly a hit for the streaming service, and its instant success means that viewers could potentially have even more of the reality competition show to watch soon enough.
Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 could premiere as soon as 2024.
Reality shows are generally faster to make than scripted series, which require scripts to be made and actors to line up. If Netflix can come up with new twists and locate another 456 people willing to play Squid Game: The Challenge, the show could return as soon as 2024. And considering the show already has a renewal, production could start recruiting for the next batch of contestants right away.
