MrBeast has recently hinted at the possibility of creating a sequel to his most-viewed video to date: an in-real-life (IRL) adaptation of Squid Game. This thrilling Korean drama, which challenges contestants who are facing difficult circumstances, received an enthusiastic reception when its second season premiered on December 26, 2024, further enhancing the show’s popularity.
Originally launched three years ago, MrBeast’s version of Squid Game remains his most-watched video, amassing an impressive 682 million views. In this adaptation, MrBeast designed challenges inspired by the first season of the show, executed in a much safer setting, and awarded $456,000 to the event’s champion.
After stirring excitement regarding a sequel, MrBeast took to social media on December 27 to gauge interest from his audience for a second iteration of the Squid Game competition. His post prompted varied reactions, highlighting both enthusiasm and skepticism among fans.
Mixed Reactions to MrBeast’s Tease for a Continuation
In his post on X, MrBeast posed the question: “Should I recreate Squid Games 2 in real life like we did with the first season?” This query sparked a wave of responses from followers eager to provide their input and ideas.

Some fans proposed incorporating past contestants to guide new players, reminiscent of elements found in season two of the original series. Additionally, there were suggestions to expand participation opportunities for international contestants.
However, the reception wasn’t universally positive. Detractors voiced their indifference to a sequel, with comments ranging from “Nobody cares about season 2 tbh” to suggestions for tackling different franchises, such as the Hunger Games.
Naw it’s mid at best. How about you recreate the Hunger Games?

There were also calls for MrBeast to pursue original content, steering clear of reboots. As of now, it remains uncertain whether MrBeast will proceed with a sequel to his Squid Game video. It’s worth noting that he has previously mentioned the show’s second season, even hinting at a friendly competition with Netflix ahead of the second season’s release, reminding followers of upcoming episodes from his own series, Beast Games.
