When the TV series Squid Game was released in September 2021, it quickly became popular for its cartoonish images, horrific action, dystopian setting and painful social critique. Today the TV series Squid Game has already left an indelible mark on our global pop culture.
That's why the TV series has not only been renewed for a second season, but Netflix is preparing to bring Squid Game as an online reality "game" to continue to build on its popularity.
Netflix has announced that it is preparing the reality Squid Game: The Challenge
The new Squid Game will take the form of a series of reality TV competitions, Squid Game: The Challenge. And it will be a cast of 456 entrants vying for a $ 4,56 million cash prize.
Competitors will have to play through many games inspired by the original series, as well as some new additions, as they will compete for the ultimate prize.
In Squid Game: The Challenge, however, the worst-case scenario will not be death, but returning home empty-handed, although a Netflix statement says "the strategies, alliances and character of the players will be tested." So we should expect some drama between the competitors.
In early 2022, Netflix began to lose subscribers, so moving its most popular show to the real world could be one way for the company to increase its numbers.
How to apply for Squid Game: The Challenge
For those interested in participating in the $ 4,56 million "game", you can apply at squidgamecasting.com. For this round of games, Front Man, as the franchise's game supervisor is called, is looking for 456 English-speaking players from all over the world.
You must be at least 21 years old, have a valid passport and be available for at least four weeks in early 2023. If you meet all the requirements, you can choose the US, UK or world casting and fill in your application. Then everything is a matter of waiting.
So you like it you do not like it, Squid Game came to stay and the prize it offers will make many people think about it, even if they did not like the series.
