Netflix just announced that it has renewed Squid Game: The Challenge<\/a> for a second season. The reality show is a toned-down version of the dystopian drama of the same name, a program known for its harsh critique of capitalism. Production on the second season is already ramping up, as casting is currently underway.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/em> recreates many of the more popular scenarios from the original show, complete with fake deaths by gunshot when a player exits the game. Despite being a fictional version of the drama, the real-life players were put in dangerous situations while competing. Many players said they suffered injuries during the game,<\/a> and others claimed that provisions were so scarce that people were forced to use condoms as lip balm,<\/a> among other complaints.<\/p>\n

Just like its fictional counterpart, the cash prize was so large that people were willing to put up with less-than-ideal and potentially hazardous circumstances. The winner of the first season will be announced tonight and will take home $4.65 million dollars, $10,000 for each of the 465 contestants. That\u2019s the largest payout in reality show history. However, its winner takes all, so 464 players get nothing. As an aside, Netflix is valued at around $200 billion.<\/p>\n

Despite the controversy surrounding the show,<\/a> it’s obviously a hit. Squid Game: The Challenge<\/em> has consistently perched atop the streamer\u2019s top ten, likely helped by the abundance of news regarding the precarious conditions on-set. Bread and circuses, baby!<\/p>\n

The streamer has also revealed a bit more information regarding an upcoming video game<\/a> set \u201cin the Squid Game<\/em> universe.\u201d Netflix notes that players will \u201ccompete with friends in games they\u2019ll recognize from the series,\u201d so we know it has multiplayer at the very least. It also leaves us with one glaring question. The Squid Game<\/em>\u2026 universe? The MCU better watch out.<\/p>\n
