Netflix Begins Recruitment For Real-Life Squid Game
Netflix revealed on Tuesday that a new reality competition series based on “Squid Game” is in the works. “Squid Game: The Challenge” is the title of the show.
The streaming platform announced casting for the new series, stating that “Squid Game: The Challenge” would award the biggest cash prize in reality TV history — $4.56 million — to one of its 456 participants.
According to Variety, players will attempt tasks from the show as well as new games, however the casting site guarantees that “all players will leave unscathed,” unlike Squid Game.
The news follows the official renewal of “Squid Game” for a second season by Netflix. While the original series was mostly a Korean-language production, Netflix is looking for participants from all around the globe who are fluent in English.
