When Every Episode of Squid Game: The Challenge S2 Drops

The world’s toughest reality competition is back! Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 returns to Netflix, giving 456 new contestants a shot at winning the jaw-dropping $4.56 million prize — the biggest reward ever offered on a reality show.

Inspired by Netflix’s hit Korean drama Squid Game, the show mirrors its concept — intense challenges, group dynamics, and high-stakes elimination rounds. The only relief? Contestants don’t face deadly consequences when they lose; they simply go home.
