Remember the Red Light Green Light, The Umbrella Man, the Younghee Doll playing Hide & Seek, VIPS and what not for the survival in the online children game for 45 Billion SK Won but just to end up being the hunt. Yeah! ‘The Squid Game’ ( 2021 ) was one of the greatest survival drama series & the most watched Netflix series that created havoc with its intense storyline & goosebumps scenes eventually pulling the audience worldwide adding to the popularising of the ‘Survival’ genre. The concept of the Hwang Dong-Hyuk ( Director ) shook the world with its brutality, social experiment & survival saga set in the game of 456 players running for their lives.

But as if we were not yet done with the cold shivers the series gave to us, Netflix has recently come up with the announcement of the reality series of the Squid Game with the official title as ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’. To resemble the live survival series to its Fictional version, Netflix has called out to bring the largest cast ever in a reality show with 456 participants along with the biggest cash prize ever for a reality show of $4.56 Million. The reality series is all set to be filmed in the United Kingdom but will be confined to the casting of English speakers only. The production work will be jointly helmed by Studio Lambert and The Garden and the series will comprise the 10 episodes like the original drama.
However, to the best of the information of the viewers, it is worth telling that unlike the original series, in the reality show the fatality risk will not be there. Also the Casting rounds for the Squid Games are open worldwide with the 3 subdivisions: Uk Casting, US casting and the Global Casting and the registrations can be done at www.squidgamecasting.com by candidates above the age of 21 and a mandate of the speakers well versed and fluent in English which looks a bit controversial since the original series was in Korean.
Also what could be demanding is the uncertainty in focusing on the shortlisted survivors with sufficient and equal footage ( owing to no lead factor ) . Rumours are also sparked that the eliminated candidates from scratch to final will all set to go empty handed with just a lone survivor entitled to the whole cash money. But what can be the sureshot possibility is the release of the versions in the other languages in the coming time if the Squid Game: The Challenge Season 1 turns out to be a success.
