Squid Game: The Challenge season two has concluded on Netflix, with the winner crowned in the finale. Ahead of the season's end, Netflix allowed viewers to vote for one eliminated player to return for season three. The winner of that vote is Viper (Player 152), a New York-based DJ and SoulCycle coach, who secured a guaranteed spot in the upcoming season.
Viper was eliminated during the catch game but received the most votes among the nominated players, which included Mark (Player 100), Zoe (Player 369), Raul (Player 431), and Jacob (Player 432). He expressed his gratitude, saying: 'It’s been positively overwhelming seeing such an outpouring of support. I think that people recognised that I’m genuine and found a way to advocate for my best interests without losing my sense of self.'
Fans have been divided over the result. Some supported Viper, with one viewer saying: 'He deserved it, so glad my vote came through. Congratulations VIPER!' Others criticised the outcome, with a fan named Rem stating: 'Should've been 431 man. It's not anyone's fault that Viper threw the ball short.'
The official Squid Game X account confirmed that season three would return 'soon', though no release date has been announced yet. The prize for the next season remains $4.56 million (£3.4 million).
