You\u2019d think that volunteering to go on a reality TV series based on a show about a deadly competition would mean you were prepared to at least\u00a0fake<\/em>\u00a0die \u2014 but based on the new trailer for \u201cSquid Game: The Challenge,\u201d that thought didn\u2019t occur to every contestant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the new promo for the unscripted show, which debuts Nov. 22 on\u00a0Netflix\u00a0and will roll out new episodes through Dec. 6, 456 people are competing for the $4.56 million prize being offered, just like it was in the first season of the streamer\u2019s Korean-language hit \u201cSquid Game.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, in this game, people\u2019s lives aren\u2019t actually on the line \u2014 but they still get fake \u201cshot\u201d during a game of \u201cSquid Game\u2019s\u201d most iconic activity, Red Light, Green Light, and go tumbling to their \u201cdeath\u201d off a bridge in a later challenge. And being fake-killed is still shocking, as the first one \u201chit\u201d goes \u201cOh, shit!\u201d when they realize what\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (What\u2019s going on behind the scenes here: When a player is \u201ckilled,\u201d a squib full of black ink goes off under the contestant\u2019s shirt. The players wore special vests with air compression chambers that made it look like the squibs exploded.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cSquid Game\u201d game becomes even more realistic later in the trailer, when remaining contestants are asked to vote to \u201celiminate\u201d two of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Per Netflix\u2019s logline for the competition, \u201c456 real players will enter the competition show in pursuit of a life-changing reward of USD $4.56 million. As they compete through a series of games inspired by the original show \u2013 plus surprising new additions \u2013 their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The competition series\u00a0has been mired in controversy\u00a0after contestants required medical assistance during the shoot, which took place in the U.K. during a surprise cold snap.\u00a0Variety<\/em>\u00a0reported at the time that a number of contestants \u2014 who were not paid for their participation in the series \u2014 collapsed on set from a combination of cold and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSquid Game: The Challenge\u201d is executive produced by Nicola Brown, Tim Harcourt, John Hay, Toni Ireland, Anna Kidd, Stephen Lambert, Louise Peet, Nia Yemoh and Stephen Yemoh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Netflix competition series hails from Studio Lambert and The Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the trailer for \u201cSquid Game: The Challenge\u201d below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
