Squid Game: The Challenge is a British reality competition developed by production companies Studio Lambert and the Garden. Inspired by the hit South Korean drama series Squid Game, the series has 456 players (the same number of contestants as the original show) participating in various tasks and competing for a record US$4.56 million (about £3.6 million) grand prize.
Season 1 comprises 10 episodes to be released in three stages. The first five episodes were released together on Netflix on November 22. 2023. Episodes 6 to 9 are slated to come out on November 29, 2023, with the Season 1 finale scheduled to be released on December 6, 2023. If you are wondering whether there will be a second season of Squid Game: The Challenge, you have come to the right place.
Here’s all the Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 release date?
Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future.
As of late November 2023, Squid Game: The Challenge hasn’t been greenlighted for Season 2. This is expected as Season 1 hasn’t finished airing yet, and Netflix is likely waiting to see how the season performs in its entirety before going ahead with the renewal. However, the audience response to the first five episodes has been extremely positive, echoing the success of the South Korean fictional series. So, it’s likely a matter of time before the renewal happens.
If the announcement in this regard comes within the next few months, given the precedence set by season 1, which was announced in June 2022, a 2024 or 2025 return is quite possible. ComingSoon will provide an update if and when season 2 is officially greenlighted.
Where is Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 coming out?
Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 could come out on Netflix. This is because the first season was released on Netflix. The streaming giant is also the home of the South Korean drama series Squid Game.
The official synopsis for Squid Game: The Challenge reads:
“Immersed in the world of “Squid Game,” 456 real players put their skills — and character — to the ultimate test for a life-changing $4.56 million prize.”
