Netflix's 'Squid Game' Reality Show Is Casting Players — Here's ... (Bustle)

Based on the hugely popular South Korean drama, the reality series will pit 456 contestants against each other for a $4.56 million reward.

“Squid Game took the world by storm with [director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s] captivating story and iconic imagery,” said Brandon Riegg, Netflix VP of Unscripted and Documentary Series. “We’re grateful for his support as we turn the fictional world into reality in this massive competition and social experiment. The games in Squid Game were modeled after childhood playground fare — like marbles, or Red Light Green Light — but with a sinister, deadly twist. If you’re worried about whether the creator of the show is onboard with his searing look at poverty and income inequalities being turned into a Hollywood cash grab, it seems to be a non-issue. A minimum of two photos must also be submitted with the application as well. Once those requirements are satisfied, applicants must upload a minute-long video explaining who they are, why they want to be on Squid Game: The Challenge, and what they would do with the cash prize if they won. There’s just one catch: despite the series being a South Korean-language drama, Squid Game: The Challenge is only accepting English-language speakers for this round.

Will Squid Game: The Challenge be the darkest reality show ever? (The Guardian)

Netflix has announced a reality competition show based on the violent hit series with a $4.56m prize and some creepy challenges.

Imagine a show based on Floor is Lava, set in a grim dystopia where the floor actually is lava. If the show can explain the mechanics of this game in a way that the actual series couldn’t, it’ll be worth the investment alone. Also, I love that this is how Netflix plans to bulk out its IP. If a show is popular, it gets to jump genres and become something else. If nothing else, this new reality show might actually get around to explaining the rules of the actual Squid Game itself; the final challenge where you have to draw a triangle on the ground and then impenetrably run around it for some reason until one of you dies of boredom. To turn the ship around it has to line up all its biggest guns and fire them at once, to show that it has the intellectual property to compete with its rivals. As soon as the very first person got shot, the competitors realised that this was a fight for survival.

The winner of Squid Game: The Challenge will receive a US$4.56-million prize (over $5.9 million Canadian). In this game, Netflix claims, “the worst fate is going home empty-handed.” Netflix claims Squid Game: The Challenge contestants will compete in a series of games inspired by the show (and some new ones too), all the while developing strategies and alliances just as Squid Game‘s fictional characters had.
