The "Squid Game: The Challenge" reality show contestants plan to sue Netflix

Two contestants of "Squid Game: The Challenge", a reality show inspired by the Korean TV series "Squid Game", are threatening to sue Netflix and the project's producers. They claim they suffered hypothermia as well as nerve damage during filming.

The contestants were injured during the filming of the "The quieter you go, the further you reach" trial. At the time, the UK was hit by a sudden cold snap and three players required medical attention as they had to remain immobile for long periods of time in freezing temperatures in order to win.

Reports of unsafe conditions on the set of "Challenge" are not the first time: in February, an independent inspection was conducted on the set of the reality show. It was conducted by the British organization Health and Safety Executive, which advised producers to better plan for risks, but in the end found no violations and decided that further action is not required.

In the reality show "Squid Game: The Challenge" players compete by completing various tasks based on children's games. The show has 456 players, and the winner is promised $4.56 million, the largest cash prize in the history of TV reality show.

So, stop, because back in the days of the first shows in the style of the Last Hero, an agreement was signed to waive claims about inconveniences and possible injuries. Either Netflix are idiots who have abandoned this practice, or nothing shines for them and this is stupid PR.

@Hidji: The show is not American, but British, it is not known what local laws allow to enter into the contract.

@Ourania: Sorry, but no. Britain had its own analogue of the show Survivor, known to us as The Last Hero. And on it, people often get injured, starve, get wet under tropical downpours and get sick. Without such an agreement, it would be nonsense.

PS. Speaking of the disabled people involved in your comment below: they did it voluntarily with the basis of legislative equality. That is, they had to participate on equal terms, without concessions. And sign the same agreements, without exceptions.

@Hidji: Extreme shows involve preliminary medical examination and insurance. Surely the orgies took care of that. "The game of squid " does not apply to extreme, since they deliberately took people with disabilities, it means they gave security guarantees.

I think this is a throw-in to warm up interest in the show. Because it's kind of strange that they sue after the premiere of the show, and not immediately after hypothermia)

Well, damn, the Brits are still crazy, of course, but surely it is written in the contracts, what can be the conditions of filming? They agreed to it themselves, so what does the court have to do with it then?

Let them say thank you that the canon is not respected (however, there is nothing new for Netflix in terms of respect for the original), and in general they remain alive. And so everything was written correctly above - they are promoting a failed reality show.

My God, this is very funny,
it seems that I am on the side of a huge corporation for the first time, and these participants are compensated by a free revision of the series. Give them millions, and warm them up. Frozen - get out of the test, so it didn't pass, it means weak and not worthy of the prize. What is the fun of testing in comfort to pass?

Among the participants there are people with disabilities: a girl with one kidney, a guy with an operated lung, a woman who has lost her hearing. The UK is not the USA, where the legal system is complicated and complicated.

@kiprian_zhurov: The company will not be impoverished in any case. They knew what type of people they were recruiting. Most of the participants are guys from poor families who will not miss the benefits if the opportunity presents itself.

@jensenjar: а чего это шоу комментировать. Как по мне обесценили сериал. В сериале у участников на кону были не только деньги,но и жизнь. А тут какая разница останутся или поедут домой. И в участниках это чувствуется, они не бояться проиграть.

@jensenjar: ну значит актёры справились с ролью, за них переживаешь. А вот за реальных участников не переживаешь, нету этого напряжения провалить задание,
Им нечего терять, подумаешь не выиграл 4 ляма нечего страшного.

Их и так раскошно содержат, профсоюзы требуют просто невероятных условий, кучу денег компанию отсекают на это. После этих жалоб будут новые ужесточения. Качество контента и так падает, а эти ограничения только переключают внимание тех кто хочет делать хорошее кино. И что говорить о монополизации, когда даже крупные корпорации имеют постоянные проблемы и им не дают спокойно вздохнуть, как могут хоть как то существовать мелкие студии и создавать конкуренцию.
