We just got a new 'Squid Game: The Challenge' season 2 trailer — and Netflix's reality series is returning soon

A "Squid Game" guard watches two contestants on a monitor in a still from Netflix's "Squid Game: The Challenge" season 2.

Netflix just dropped a fresh teaser for the next installment of "Squid Game: The Challenge," and the streaming service's competition looks fiercer than ever. Set to DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win," this brief new teaser trailer gives us another look at some of the trials that our next batch of 456 contestants will face.

Across the footage, you can spy competitors taking on more of the iconic K-drama's challenges, and it culminates with one ominous line from a "Squid Game: The Challenge" contestant: "I promised myself going into this game that there would be no line that I wouldn't be willing to cross."

"Squid Game" fans will no doubt recognize those rainbow racetracks, plus flying stones and Gong-gi from the Six-legged Penthathlon.

Netflix already gave us a series synopsis to work with, and it definitely hypes season 2 up as an intense watch. It reads: "This time, 456 brand-new contestants will enter the ultimate test of strategy, alliances, and endurance as they compete for a life-changing $4.56 million prize.

"Inspired by the iconic original series – with shocking new twists and never-before-seen games – season two raises the stakes higher than ever. As players face elimination at every turn, only one can emerge victorious. New players. New games. New rules."

Judging by the reactions on our competitors' faces throughout, "Squid Game: The Challenge" season 2 is about to be a real wild ride. Excited? Netflix confirmed the "Squid Game: The Challenge" season 2 release date back in July; the new series is due to return as a "three-week event", premiering exclusively on Netflix on Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Is 'Squid Game: The Challenge' coming back for season 3?
