Netflix will soon bring its biggest series back to the forefront with not one but four different projects! A return with great fanfare for this real hit.
Netflix is a hit, we know, and the SVOD platform aims to become absolutely essential. If its place on the podium of streaming behemoths is assured, the company is also seeking to diversify. And what could be better than capitalizing fully on its phenomenon series to establish its brand in different markets and stick a red logo everywhere? After mobile video games, which are all part of the subscription by the way, Netflix is thinking big for what is certainly its biggest series to date.
Netflix’s most famous series is multiplying its projects
You see it coming as big as a house, but yes, we are talking here about Squid Game, the most popular series on the platform. When it was released, the Korean series literally panicked viewers and blew up Netflix’s numbers. More than just a program, it is a real phenomenon that exceeds all the expectations of Netflix and its director Hwang Dong-hyeok. The success is immense and worldwide. Faced with such popularity, Netflix decided to capitalize on it as much as possible and although we knew that there were already projects in progress, the brand has just refreshed its brands and revealed two new huge projects.
Squid Game in real life, it will soon arrive on Netflix with the eponymous television series which will present itself as a real reality TV experience, but by simply eliminating the players instead of sending them to eat dandelions by the root. But Netflix also had another idea, offering Squid Game, in real life, during a big event open to the public. It will take place in Los Angeles (the only destination blocked at the moment) on December 6 at the Television City complex. Squid Game: The Trials will offer participants the opportunity to face no less than 6 challenges of increasing difficulty to collect points and win rewards. Guaranteed immersion. Netflix also claims that the experience can be intense and that an entire complex in the colors of the series will be available to visitors so that they can enjoy the world of the series.
The penguin octopus
This is not the first time that Netflix has done this type of immersive experience, riding on the success of one of its series. Stranger Things or The Bridgerton Chronicles have already had the right to this type of event. On the other hand, with Squid Game, Netflix will go even further with a brand new, completely new project. The platform has just announced the imminent arrival of Squid Game slot machines which will soon be deployed in American casinos. Nothing crazy this time, except that the machine will be in the colors of the series and that it will ensure the atmosphere by squandering wallets. The machine will be offered by the company Light & Wonder, a big name in the industry.
Soon a reality show and a season 2 for Squid Game
Netflix intends to put Squid Game back in the spotlight before the franchise’s big comeback. In addition to these two new projects, the series will return with a reality series on November 22, Squid Game: the challenge which will put dozens of participants to the test who will have to take part in the emblematic challenges of the series such as “1, 2, 3, Soleil!” », all while respecting the atmosphere and staging of the original program. It looks pretty intense. Finally, the main series Squid Game will return soon with a season 2. Director Hwang Dong-hyeok will be at the helm again. The plot is still mysterious, but we once again expect twisted games, of course.
