When is the last episode of The Squid Game: The Challenge out? Here's when you can final episode will be released.

Netflix brought us the competition show we didn't know we needed but now can't live without. And unfortunately it is coming to an end on December 7th (6th for those in the US).

After the success of the TV series Squid Game Netflix produced a reality show version of it called Squid Game: The Challenge. The show sees 456 real life participants fight to win a huge cash prize of over £3 million, as there can only be one winner the players are numbered and tasked with taking on games which will see them eliminated if they lose.

How are they eliminated you ask? They are killed off. Not literally though of course. Unlike the fiction TV show the reality show is much more humane. When a contestant fails a game a little ink patch on them, called a squib, bursts making it look as if they've been shot.
