Squid Game: The Challengeis almost here!
In a new teaser for the show shared on the Netflix YouTube channel Friday, a voiceover from a man wearing one of the show’s iconic red tracksuits said: “Attention players. You will now compete for the biggest cash prize reality show in history.”
The countdown then showcased an incredible cash prize of $4,560,000.
Competitors dressed in the show’s famous green and white tracksuits looked stunned as they walked on set for the first time. “You have got to be kidding me,” one person gasped as piles of cash fell into a transparent globe.
“$4.56 million?” another said. “People do a whole lot worse for a whole lot less.”
