The photon blockade is a hallmark of quantum light transport through a single two-level system that can accommodate only one photon. Here, we theoretically show that two-photon transmission can be suppressed even for a system of a large number of quantum dots in a cavity when the biexciton nonlinearity is taken into account. We reveal the nonmonotonous dependence of the second-order correlation function of the transmitted photons on the biexciton binding energy. The blockade is realized by proper tuning of the biexciton resonance that controls the collective superradiant modes.
