BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – The hit series “Squid Game” from South Korea is being implemented as a reality show on the Netflix streaming service. As in the thriller series, 456 participants will compete in various games, as Netflix announced on Tuesday in a first trailer for “Squid Game: The Challenge”. Accordingly, it is about a prize money of 4.56 million US dollars. According to Netflix, there has never been a show with more participants or with higher prize money.
Interested parties from all over the world who speak English can now apply online to take part. Filming is expected to take place in early 2023. However, the game show should not be as risky as the games in the series. “The stakes are high, but the worst fate in this game is going home empty-handed,” the casting page reads.
In the Squid Game series, hundreds of highly indebted people compete in children’s games to win millions in prize money. Losers are killed instantly in the macabre competition. The series also led to criticism in this country: for example, children played the series in a daycare center and after-school care center. Netflix has already announced a second season./rgr/DP/stk
