Korean Series SQUID GAME Invites You to Deadly Childhood Games - Premiering on September 17, 2021

Netflix has unveiled the first poster and teaser trailer for its new Korean series "Squid Game" - an imaginative, unorthodox story in which 456 contestants risk their lives in a mysterious survival game for a chance to win 45.6 billion won (that's 2 billion Philippine pesos!). 

The show's tagline “45.6 Billion Is Child’s Play” makes a powerful first impression alongside the imagery of the shapes that are used in the ‘squid game’. The title, squid game, is a reference to the simple yet physical and aggressive children’s games played in neighborhood alleyways. 

Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show includes Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Oh Young-soo, Wi Ha-Jun, Jung Ho-yeon, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam and Kim Joo-ryoung. The striking visuals and deadly implications of "Squid Game" will be available for streaming in 190 countries on September 17, 2021 - only on Netflix.
