Netflix is currently casting for its Squid Game reality TV series, inviting applications from around the world.
Netflix is expanding the Squid Game franchise to include a reality TV series after the dystopian drama took the world by storm last year.
In its statement, Netflix vice president of unscripted and documentary series Brandon Reigg said the reality series will draw on Dong-hyuk’s “captivating story and iconic imagery”, adding that the company was grateful for his support in developing Squid Game: The Challenge.
Now, Netflix has revealed it is gearing up to launch Squid Game: The Challenge in which 456 participants will compete in a series of games inspired by the show for a chance to win a $4.56m cash prize – the largest lumpsum jackpot in the history of reality TV.
