On paper, they are still the best OTT streaming platform, and if someone has shows like Squid Game in their arsenal, why wouldn’t they be at the pinnacle? After the success of their first season, they are now sitting down to answer the very question, ‘What if it was all real?’
And if that question has been bothering you until now, then you can stop worrying because November 22nd is just around the corner. But Netflix is completely prepared to make you feel as if it were a real reality show, so they are on their way to break their tradition.
Now, Netflix might carry a million other complaints with them, but they have always made the fans happy with their release format. They always released entire seasons in one single go, making it easier for fans to binge-watch. Shows like Wednesday, Sex Education, and 1899 also followed the same format.
However, lately, the streaming giant is tinkering with their formats as they are adapting a split release format like most other platforms. The reality show version of Squid Game might follow this trend.
From a business standpoint, it might work wonders as it will make the audience long for the content. Also, the longer release window will generate more hype, which will be reflected in the statistics. But in terms of convenience, it might have its drawbacks.
Many details are yet to be revealed regarding the show, as it will follow a format similar to the original one.
