A real-life Squid Game set was bound to happen. Several others have tried to recreate Netflix's hit TV series in real life (minus all the killing, of course). However, few if any can match the clout that popular YouTuber, Mr. Beast has, which is why fans are eagerly waiting for him to finish setting up a real-life Squid Game with a whopping $456,000 prize pool for the winner.

No one could have predicted the success that Netflix's Quid Game would have. After premiering on September 17, 2021, the South Korean survival drama went on to set new viewership records for the streaming platform. The hit series is a culmination of Netflix's investment in the South Korean scene a few years ago, making it one of Netflix's highest-earning series in terms of how much value the show added to Netflix and how much it cost Netflix to produce it.
