If you enjoyed the Netflix series Squid Game this opportunity may be just for you

Netflix is now recruiting contestants for a reality TV show based on the South Korean drama.

But don’t worry, it won’t be a matter of life or death, instead the worst outcome would be going home empty-handed.

456 recruits from various countries will play games with the chance of winning a USD 4.56 million prize, the largest in reality TV history.

The challenges are inspired by the original show with “their strategies, alliances, and character put to the test while competitors are eliminated around them”.

To participate you must be at least 21 years old, speak English and be available for filming for up to one month in early 2023.

This all comes only days after the streaming giant confirmed a second season for the popular show.

The series revolves around a group of people struggling to pay off their debt who are given the opportunity to compete in deadly children’s games in the hopes of winning a huge cash prize.
