'Squid Games 2' Is Out Now On Netflix!
Interestingly, the recently released 'Squid Game: The Challenge' is a spin-off. It is off to a flying start and many claim that it is quite gripping and engaging.
At the end of 'Squid Games', the team gave a hint that there will be a continuation for this series. The crowd has been waiting for the second season ever since and it has finally arrived. The makers released the teasers, first look and trailer in order to increase the hype and it came out on Netflix officially.
It is the most viewed series on any OTT platform and it gained a huge fanbase. It pushed behind top series like 'Game Of Thrones', 'Money Heist' and 'Stranger Things' which explains a lot about its popularity. The first season was watched by 11 crore people within the first 28 days. It won a lot of international awards as well. 'Squid Games' got nominated in 14 categories at the Emmy Awards and won six of them.
Interestingly, the recently released 'Squid Game: The Challenge' is a spin-off. It is off to a flying start and many claim that it is quite gripping and engaging. The review by The Guardian says, "It was reasonable to assume that Squid Game: The Challenge would be a cash-in, a cynical by-product of the original's success that would miss the point entirely, and perhaps it does. But as a gameshow, as the spectacle it sets out to be, it is very hard to look away."
The Hollywood Reporter says, "Squid Game: The Challenge does not exist in a vacuum. It exists to cash in on one of the streamer's biggest-ever hits, the 2021 South Korean scripted drama Squid Game. In that context, it looks not like a one-off curiosity but like a brand extension that fundamentally misunderstands what the brand was meant to represent in the first place."
