Netflix's foray into reality TV has taken a bold stride with "Squid Game: The Challenge," a competition series inspired by the hit show "Squid Game." The nine-episode series, filmed at Shinfield Studios near Reading, England, brought together 456 contestants vying for $4. 56 million in prize money. Among them was 29-year-old Dunn from Springfield, Oregon, who flew to England for the first time to participate in the show.
Dunn's enthusiasm for "Squid Game" was palpable, stating it was "the best series I've ever watched." The show's success has prompted Netflix to announce several new reality competitions, including "The Golden Ticket," inspired by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and a reality contest based on the mystery game "Clue." The streaming giant is also planning to adapt the popular board game "Monopoly" and a new game show titled "Win the Mall," billed as the next generation of "Supermarket Sweep" and "The Price Is Right." According to Ampere Analysis, Netflix has commissioned 34 reality competition seasons this year, representing 9% of TV show seasons ordered.
This marks the highest percentage of reality competition shows since Ampere began tracking Netflix's global commissions in 2020.
