You’d think that volunteering to go on a reality TV series based on a show about a deadly competition would mean you were prepared to at least fake die — but based on the new trailer for “Squid Game: The Challenge,” that thought didn’t occur to every contestant.
In the new promo for the unscripted show, which debuts Nov. 22 on Netflix and will roll out new episodes through Dec. 6, 456 people are competing for the $4.56 million prize being offered, just like it was in the first season of the streamer’s Korean-language hit “Squid Game.” Of course, in this game, people’s lives aren’t actually on the line — but they still get fake “shot” during a game of “Squid Game’s” most iconic activity, Red Light, Green Light, and go tumbling to their “death” off a bridge in a later challenge. And being fake-killed is still shocking, as the first one “hit” goes “Oh,...

Netflix’s twist on hit series “Squid Game” takes reality TV to new heights.
Upcoming series “Squid Game: The Challenge” pits 456 real players in competition show for a $4.56 million reward. Per the official synopsis, as they compete through a series of games inspired by the original show – plus surprising new additions – their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them.

Only 288 contestants moved forward after the competition.
Former contestants later told Rolling Stone that they believed the series had unsafe working conditions and a rigged reward. A group of former “The Challenge” players said they were looking into filing...
