Netflix has released official Squid Game merch – but those iconic green tracksuits aren't for sale, so you'll have to look elsewhere for that particular Halloween costume.

Squid Game follows a group of people with financial struggles who are invited to take part in a mysterious survival competition with a hefty cash prize. They must compete in a series of traditional games, but with deadly twists, risking their lives for ₩45.6 billion (that's the equivalent of around $38 million). Those involved in the game wear green and white tracksuits with their individual numbers on them.

As for what merch is available from Netflix, you can choose between a hoodie and various t-shirts – including one with a number patch like the ones the contestants wear in the show, and you can choose which number is on the front – so that's part of your Halloween costume sorted, at least. Unfortunately, there are no red jumpsuits or green trackies – or anything else to help with your Halloween fit.

The show is on track to be the streamer's biggest series ever, according to Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos, as long as the early viewership figures hold up – and they seem to show no sign of stopping, with the show becoming the first Korean drama to reach the top spot on Netflix in the US.

While season 2 hasn't been confirmed yet, Netflix seems optimistic about the prospect, with one boss recently saying the streamer was just "trying to work out the right structure."
