Squid Game, the award-winning Korean sitcom, is returning to Netflix this year, but without the murders. The new reality show Squid Game: The Challenge is a spinoff of the blockbuster dystopian drama in which 456 people compete in various games for a total prize money of $4.56 million. While fans have been eagerly awaiting the spin-off, it has already sparked criticism. Earlier this year, some competitors complained about inadequate circumstances at some competitions. Ironic, given that the original show was concentrated on high-stakes survival and progressing to the next level of competition.
