"With a fortune up for grabs, who will be an ally, who will you trust, and who will you betray in this ultimate test of character?"
"Win or lose, all players will walk away. But if you win, you win big!" it added.
Netflix announced the show's renewal Wednesday ahead of the "Squid Game: The Challenge" Season 1 finale.
Three remaining contestants will battle it out for the prize: Player 287 (Mai), Player 451 (Phil) and Player 016 (Sam).
