Casting for the reality competition is now open worldwide—and you could win $4.56 million!
If you can't wait for Season 2 of Netflix's Squid Game, you won't have to wait too long before getting sucked into the series again. (Well, sort of?) Netflix has recently announced a new reality television series based on the popular show, and it's called Squid Game: The Challenge.
The new reality competition will feature 456 contestants battling it out in games inspired by the show and trying to win the grand prize: $4.56 million.
"With both the largest cast and lump sum cash prize in reality TV history, 456 real players will enter the game in pursuit of a life-changing reward of $4.56 million. As they compete through a series of games inspired by the original show—plus surprising new additions—their strategies, alliances, and character will be put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them. The stakes are high, but in this game, the worst fate is going home empty-handed," Netflix said in a statement.
Squid Game: The Challenge has opened a casting call for English-language speakers around the world.
The 10-episode competition series will be filmed in the U.K. It's a co-production between Studio Lambert and The Garden, part of ITV Studios.
