Netflix’s Number 1 show Squid Game is set to become a reality show. Netflix is now accepting registrations from around the globe.
Squid Game’s second season has been in the talks for a while now and we get another surprising news from Netflix. Yes, you heard it right, Netflix is turning this dangerous and mind-boggling show into a reality show. The show will be known as Squid Game: The Challenge.
Similar to the show, 456 genuine participants will compete for a life-changing prize of $4.56 million in the game with the most extensive cast and lump sum cash prize in reality TV history. Their strategies, relationships, and character will be tested as they participate in a series of games inspired by the original programme – plus some shocking new elements – while competitors are removed around them. The odds are enormous, and the worst outcome is returning to their homes empty-handed.
On the 14th of June, Netflix announced the registrations for the applicants are open who are willing to join the show via a short video on YouTube.
Brandon Riegg, Netflix VP of Unscripted and Documentary Series said “Squid Game took the world by storm with Director Hwang’s captivating story and iconic imagery. We’re grateful for his support as we turn the fictional world into reality in this massive competition and social experiment,” He further adds “Fans of the drama series are in for a fascinating and unpredictable journey as our 456 real-world contestants navigate the biggest competition series ever, full of tension and twists, with the biggest ever cash prize at the end.”
