Netflix denies any Squid Game reality show contestants have suffered ‘serious injury’

Streaming giant says three people were treated for mild conditions while filming competition based on hit South Korean drama, after contestant claims ‘it was like a war zone’

Three people received medical treatment during the filming of a Squid Game reality show, Netflix has confirmed, but said “claims of serious injury are untrue” after a contestant claimed people were stretchered out.

Squid Game: The Challenge will see 456 contestants competing for a huge cash prize, just like in the hit South Korean fictional drama. The reality show is currently being filmed in Cardington Studios, a former RAF base in Bedfordshire in the United Kingdom.
