‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix

Netflix has mapped out the future of Squid Game — or at least its reality-show version of it.

The streamer has renewed Squid Game: The Challenge for a third season, matching (for the moment) the number of seasons for the Korean blockbuster on which it’s based. Netflix has also set a Nov. 4 premiere date for season two of the competition.

Squid Game: The Challenge features 456 contestants in a re-creation of the games in Squid Game, minus the part where eliminated players are murdered. Netflix says season two will feature some new challenges as the players compete for a $4.56 million prize.

The show premiered in November 2023 and had a solid run, though it didn’t come close to the world-dominating showing of the scripted Squid Game. The reality series finished first among English-language shows in Netflix’s worldwide rankings for its first two weeks and held a top 10 spot for five weeks. In the United States, it had a four-week run in Nielsen’s streaming top 10 charts.

Studio Lambert and The Garden, a part of ITV Studios, produce Squid Game: The Challenge. Studio Lambert’s Stephen Lambert, Tim Harcourt, Nia Yemoh and Stephen Yemoh executive produce with Anna Kidd and The Garden’s Nicola Brown and John Hay.
