They are playing for themselves, not for friendship!

That’s the message shared in the newest trailer for season two of Squid Game: The Challenge on Netflix. Returning Nov. 4, the game will feature 456 new contestants who will enter the “ultimate test of strategy, alliances, and endurance as they compete for a life-changing $4.56 million prize.” The game is inspired by the streamer’s uber-successful drama series.

The trailer is promising bigger twists, savage competition and never-before-seen games for season 2. Like the drama series, players face elimination at every turn.

The new season will feature nine episodes. Executive Producers are Nicola Brown (The Garden), Tim Harcourt (Studio Lambert), John Hay (The Garden), Anna Kidd, Stephen Lambert (Studio Lambert), Nick Walker, Nia Yemoh (Studio Lambert), and Stephen Yemoh (Studio Lambert).

Studio Lambert & The Garden (part of ITV Studios) are producing.
