AN acclaimed Netflix reality show looks set to return for a third series with an even bigger prize pot.
Ahead of the premiere of the second series, Netflix has confirmed that Squid Game: The Challenge will also have a third series.

The reality competition show was spawned as a spin-off of the acclaimed drama series, Squid Game.
In one of TV’s biggest jackpots, players have the chance to win up to a whopping $4.56million.
It launched with a first series last year and earlier this week, Netflix confirmed that a second series would land in November this year.
It is expected that the third series will follow next year.
The challenge show has become known for its notoriously tough tasks – some of which have pushed contestants to the limit.
One contestant on the first series previously lifted the lid on what filming was like for the programme.
Elliott Burgess was number 429 in the show out of a total of 456 players.
The Surrey-based contestant reached the second-to-last challenge and secured 7th place when the winner, Mai, discovered his involvement through his suspicious beard scratch.
Elliot revealed that contestants were allowed 10 minutes of fresh air every two days and had no contact with the outside world.
They had no idea what time it was, as the masked men decided when it was lights out.
Elliott assumed he had gotten enough sleep. But he was starving.
He recalled: “It was tough because they had to keep it as immersive as possible. It’s $4.56m, they’re not just going to give you that for free. They had to make it as challenging as possible”.
Squid Game: The Challenge returns 4th November on Netflix.
