As Paramount+ works to build a roster of original programming that allows it to compete with the biggest names in streaming, it would likely love to have an international hit on the level of Netflix’s “Squid Game.” With any luck, that hit could come in the form of “Pyramid Game,” a new Korean drama hitting the streaming service this month that appears to combine the intense competition of “Squid Game” with high school teen drama.
Per the show’s official synopsis, Seong Su-ji is a new student at the Baekyeon Girls’ High School. Between the bullies, her studies, and the fight for popularity, high school already feels like a game of survival for Su-ji. But when she’s introduced to a ranking system that chooses class outcasts via secret vote, Su-ji must decide whether to accept her status and its violent fallout or lead an uprising against the Pyramid Game.

Korean content is having its moment, but Pyramid Game will be the only title from the country at next month’s Series Mania.
The series will have its European premiere in Series Mania’s ‘Special Screenings’ section. Pyramid Game is set to premiere on Tving in Korea on February 29 and later this year on Paramount+ globally.
The series depicts a brutal survival game at Baekyeon Girls High School, where students are divided into attackers, victims, and bystanders and gradually descend into the violence of survival. Pyramid Game is based on the Naver webtoon of the same name, which was created by Dalgonyak.

Directed by Bak So-yeon, Pyramid Game will star Kim Ji-yeon, Jang Da-a, Ryu Da-in, Shin Seul-ki, Kang Na-eon, Jeong Ha-dam, and Yulli.A.
