The Netflix series “Squid Game” took the world by storm, to say the least, when it was released in 2021.
The series has inspired many people’s Halloween costumes in the years since, and “everyone” has been clamoring for a second season of its success.
Making the “Squid Game” for real
But before eager viewers can sit down in front of the screen again, they can look forward to a “real” version of the “Squid Game” on the streaming giant.
Netflix is currently filming a game show version of the series in the UK, where the participants fight for a cash prize of close to NOK 47 million.
They have reassured worried fans that no one will be eliminated from the reality show in the same way as in the series, but the recording has still not gone smoothly, according to sources of The Sun.
– I didn’t believe it
Several participants are said to have suffered frostbite, and one is said to have been taken out of the recording on a stretcher.
Netflix now denies that this has happened, writes BBC. In a statement, the streaming service writes the following:
“We care deeply about the health and safety of the participants and those who work here, and we have invested in all the appropriate safety measures we can.”
It also states that health personnel must be present during the entire recording.
“Although it was very cold where we recorded – something the participants were also prepared for – all claims of serious injuries are untrue”.
“Squid Game” is about a competition where a large number of participants fight for a large cash prize by competing in classic children’s games – with a deadly twist.
Sentenced to death for «Squid Game»
The series holds the record as the most popular Netflix series of all time, and was watched by a whopping 111 million in just 28 days.
The reality version of the grotesque series was announced last June, and will consist of ten episodes.
