Squid Game has grabbed Netflix fans by storm, and it has just risen to the top of the most popular list in the United States and the United Kingdom, ahead of Sex Education season 3. The popular South Korean drama series follows desperate members of the public as they strive to win a life-changing sum of money by participating in children’s activities. But it’s not quite that easy, because each game has fatal repercussions.
The nine-part series follows Seong Gi-hun (Jung-jae Lee), a debtor who is always on the run from loan sharks while trying to provide for his daughter and mother. As a result, when the opportunity to make a fortune presents itself, he seizes it.
“Squid Game will absolutely be our largest non-English language program in the world, for sure, and there’s a very strong chance it’ll be our biggest show ever,” says Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarando. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about the wildly popular new show.
Squid Game – When will it release?
Squid Game was published earlier this month on Netflix, and all nine episodes are now accessible. So it’s ideal if you want to binge-watch your shows! The series is available with either English or Korean audio with subtitles, so you may select how you want to view it. Other languages, such as French, Polish, and Hindi, are also accessible.

Who will be casting for Squid Game?
Park Hae Soo (Time To Hunt), Wi Ha-joon (Midnight), fashion model HoYeon Jung, and Lee Jung-jae are among the cast members of The Squid Game (Deliver Us From Evil).
Squid Game – What’s the plotline?
Many members of the South Korean public are cash-strapped, so they leap at the chance to participate in a tournament with a large 45.6 billion won (£28 million) prize pool. It appears straightforward at first; all they have to do is play popular children’s games against other gamers, but things quickly take a sinister turn.
Those who lose the games die as a result, akin to The Hunger Games and Battle Royale, which only adds to the desperation of those seeking the money. It’s no longer simply a game, and the participants are battling for their lives. In the first episode, Seong Gi-hun is contacted by a mystery man who tells him about the games, and he soon finds himself participating in a violent game of ‘Red Light, Green Light.’
Has Netflix released any Trailer?
Yes, an exciting trailer for Squid Game has been published by Netflix. In it, we see our anxious gamers being met by mystery people dressed in circle, triangle, or square branded masks that mirror the game’s emblems. Panic quickly sets in as the players are eliminated one by one, with the counter swiftly decreasing as individuals continue to die.
