Part of the streamer’s “Netflix and Chills” lineup this year, the debut season of Korean series “Squid Game” is coming to Netflix on September 17, we’ve just learned this afternoon.

In the series, “A mysterious invitation to join the game is sent to people at risk who are in dire need of money. 456 participants from all walks of life are locked into a secret location where they play games in order to win 45.6 billion won. Every game is a Korean traditional children’s game such as Red Light, Green Light, but the consequence of losing is death. Who will be the winner, and what is the purpose behind this game?”

“Squid Game” comes from creator Hwang Dong-hyuk.

Watch the official teaser below, which reminds of Battle Royale and The Hunger Games.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” and Variety reports that Steve Buscemi is joining the team this time around.

Steve Buscemi, who recently appeared in the Netflix comedy-horror movie Hubie Halloween, will play the new principal of Nevermore Academy in “Wednesday” Season 2.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
