The Squid Game: The Challenge "Injury" Lawsuit Explained

Squid Game: The Challenge has become an overnight Netflix sensation, but as the show continues, some eliminated players threaten to sue the production company behind the series. Modeled after the South Korean smash-hit Squid Game, the reality TV competition series brought 456 players together to compete for the largest cash prize in Netflix history. With the contestants playing for a $4.56 million prize and so many competitors at the start, it was meant to be challenging for the players to make it to the end. The first test, for example, eliminated half the pool of competition, leaving just over 200 players continuing on.
