Netflix has not only confirmed Squid games: The challenge Season 2 is set to air on November 4, 2025, but it is also quickly followed up with the announcement that Season 3 is also underway. This comes two weeks after the K drama was wrapped up too well with its own third season, which ended up with an unexpected como that can (or maybe not) lead to David Fincher’s American remake.
By 2023, Netflix answered the question we all had on our lips – how would we all manage if sQuid play Were real? It put 456 real players on the test and competed for the biggest cash price in reality TV history ($ 4.56 million). Games like red light, green light and Dalgona transferred from the Hit Netflix series, while new games, such as battleships, were replaced with really mortals, such as Tug of War.
Netflix has already asked us to expect “new games and new rules”, with logic that tells us each of the first three seasons of The challenge must repeat the same fictional series. If this is the case, Squid games: The challenge Season 3 already has a huge problem on its hands with its most dangerous game of all.
Squid Game Season 3’s Jump Rope scene would be almost impossible to replicate in the challenge
Look at
Of course I’m talking about Jump Rope that appeared in episodes 3 and 4 of Octopus games Season 3. In the episode, 16 players were removed with only 8 passes, including Seong Gi-She (Lee Jung-Jae), who managed to wear Kim Jun-Hee’s (Jo the Yu-Ri’s player 222) baby over safe. The rules are simple: Cross from one side of a suspended path to the other, while two giant robots exert a rotating jumping rope over its path. There is a hole in the middle of the path, making this a little more dangerous than Season 1’s traction. Teams were on two suspended platforms of this, with a giant guillotine that cut the rope when a team lost.
Squid games: The challenge Season 1 managed to replicate glass education stones, with players who fell to their ‘deaths’ while crossing a similar suspended bridge made of fake glass. However, it cannot be compared to Jump Rope, which has a closer level of actual danger of the finished warfall. Namely, both share a unique feature that makes a reality version impossible-they are an absolute health and safety nightmare.
The moment you have sharp things, flying things and any part of a game where players risk serious injury, there must be a plan B. It may be one of the best streaming services Around, but even Netflix will not risk a lawsuit just to repeat the k-drama scene after scene. The safer option is to introduce a brand new game that no one expects, giving more reasons why subscribers continue to set.
Then there is the fact that even the role crew of Octopus games Season 3 filmed jumping scenes using CGI. The robots are green screen, the suspended bridge is actually non-existent, and really, it is just Lee Jung-Jae who makes his own legs cradle while his feet are firmly planted on the ground.
Are we likely to see the jump rope in Squid games: The challenge? I say no. And considering battleships was my favorite game in the reality -tv competition, I’m ready for some unexpected changes.
