The Squid Game Season 2 is subtitled The Challenge

Squid Game Season 2 is an upcoming season of a drama series produced by Siren Pictures for Netflix. The show was written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk. It is also known as Squid Game: The Challenge. 

The series features a deadly competition in which 456 highly indebted contestants risk their lives to win the prize money.
