When Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 Episodes 4–8 Drop — Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch
Two years after its breakout run, Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge is back with Episodes 4–8 arriving soon—expect fiercer games, sharper drama, and higher stakes. Here’s when they land, what time to watch, and where to stream.
Netflix is back to playing with our nerves. Two years after its buzzy first season, the UK-made reality spin on Squid Game is rolling out Season 2 in chunks again. Part 1 already landed, and the next batch is right around the corner.
When Episodes 4-8 drop
Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 Episodes 4-8 hit Netflix on November 11, 2025 at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET.
- Pacific Time: November 11, 2025 at 12:00 a.m.
- Eastern Time: November 11, 2025 at 3:00 a.m.
How Netflix is rolling out Season 2
Just like Season 1, Netflix is slicing the season into three parts. Part 1 dropped on November 4, 2025. Part 2 is Episodes 4-8 on November 11. The finale lands one week after that.
What the show actually is (and what it isn’t)
This is the British reality TV version of the hit South Korean drama. The premise is familiar: 456 players take on high-stakes physical and social challenges. The difference is obvious but important — unlike the scripted series, no one dies here. One person still walks away with a massive pile of cash.
Season 1 pulled solid reviews, and the new run is leaning into more drama and tougher tasks. About that prize: the show often rounds it to $4.5 million, but Netflix’s official line spells it out as $4.56 million — fitting the 456-player motif. Either way, life-changing money.
"In this reality competition show inspired by 'Squid Game,' 456 players put their skills to the ultimate test for a life-changing $4.56 million prize."
Where to watch
Episodes 4-8 stream exclusively on Netflix. If you’re new to the service, it’s the usual firehose of licensed and original titles, with subtitles across the board and lots of dubbing options. It’s also the home of heavy hitters like Stranger Things, Narcos, Wednesday, The Witcher, The Crown, Mindhunter, The Queen's Gambit, and Dark.
