Squid Game: The Challenge: Hwang Dong-hyuk Goes BTS of Reality Series

Hitting Netflix screens on November 22nd, here's the behind-the-scenes look at Squid Game: The Challenge that was released during Geeked Week.

One contestant put it best in an early teaser for the upcoming reality competition series: "4.56 million dollars? People do a whole lot worse for a whole lot less." Well, we're about to learn just how worse things can get for 450+ competitors in Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge. Based on Director, Writer, and Executive Producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's global phenomenon, the 10-episode competition series looks to bring a couple of hundred real-world contestants into the universe of the hit streaming series. And while the "endgame" might not be as lethal as the on-screen version, what we've seen so far makes it pretty clear that these folks are not going to have an easy path to that money. With a little less than two weeks to go until its debut, Netflix's Geeked Week is sharing a look at what viewers can expect with a new featurette – but this is a special one because it gives us a chance to see what Hwang Dong-hyuk thinks about seeing his series become a pseudo-reality.

Now, here's a look behind the scenes at the all-too-real reality competition came together, as well as a preview of just some of the challenges that they faced – followed by a look back at what else we've learned about Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge

The official trailer gives us a better sense of what the 456 players will be up against as they compete for the $4.56 million cash prize. And we all know what that means, right? Yup, a series of games/challenges that will push each of them to their limits as they also look for alliances with their competition – when they're not looking to take them out of the game. Here's a look at what you can expect when Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge hits on November 22nd:

Though the reality version of Squid Game isn't a matter of life or death, there's still a lot on the line: 456 players will compete to win $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in reality television history. Through a series of games, each player will be pushed to their limits and forced to ask themselves just how far they'll go to win, with opportunistic alliances, cutthroat strategies and timely betrayals to follow.
