Netflix Invites Fans To Take Part In ‘Squid Game’ Reality TV Series With A Cash Prize Of This Amount

New Delhi: Netflix has invited fans to take part in the ‘Squid Game’ reality TV series and has offered a whopping Rs 35.56 crore cash prize. “Squid Game: The Challenge” is set to offer the largest cash prize in reality TV history — $4.56 million (Rs 35.56 crores) — to one of its 456 competitors (the largest cast in reality TV history), the streamer said in a statement.

Netflix’s smash-hit “Squid Game,” is a fictional South Korean series in which contestants compete in a series of schoolyard games that will kill them if they lose, all for a few billion won. It became Netflix’s most popular show of all time upon its release in late 2021

Netflix hasn’t announced how they plan to adapt the game in which a giant doll fatally zaps people or masked guards fatally shoot competitors in the head if they fail to carve a honeycomb candy correctly, but it’s safe to assume there will be no murder, CNN reported.

The series is casting now for brave, self-punishing souls interested in competing in harrowing games. Though the original show was created by South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk and primarily starred Korean actors who spoke Korean throughout, Netflix’s new “Squid Game” is seeking “English-language speakers from any part of the world.”

The platform announced casting for the new series on Tuesday in a vague promo with appearances from the aforementioned “Red Light, Green Light” doll and a slew of masked guards who carry out killings, the report added.

The original “Squid Game” became an international phenomenon for its sharp social commentary as much as its arresting visuals and entertaining conceit. “Squid Game” sends up the wealthy ruling class and the harm they inflict upon the low-income and marginalized members of their society (though the low-income competitors are often corrupted by the lure of wealth). In the fictional show’s competition, the poor are literally disposable — they’re killed if they lose a game, and they continue to get picked off as they vie for a life-changing sum, all to the amusement of the game’s rich creators, the report added.
