Squid Game, also known as Round Six, is an upcoming South Korean action-adventure series, created and distributed by Netflix.

The title references a popular childrens game in Korea, a variation of tag that uses a squid-shaped board.

In the Netflix series, 456 people are invited to play a mysterious competition called Squid Game for a cash prize of 45.6 billion (around $40 million).

The players are considered to be failures in life with some having an excessive amount of debt, but there is more to this Squid Game than meets the eye.

What looks like childish challenges turns out to be a deadly survival tournament; lose any of the daily games and the players are killed off until one final player is left.

Who will be the last player standing and who are the mysterious tracksuit-wearing people running the Squid Game?

There will be a total of eight episodes in Squid Game season 1, each with a runtime of approximately 50 minutes.
