Netflix, which left its mark on the Geeked event last week, continues its huge projects without slowing down. The broadcasting service, which rolled up its sleeves to adapt the South Korean series Squid Game, which is followed with great interest in our country, to real life, promoted the program by announcing “The biggest cash prize in the history of television!” The participants, who will compete for exactly $ 4.56 million, will not lose their lives this time.
The discussions about the reality show, which will meet the audience under the name of Squad Game: The Challenge, have started without slowing down. The first opposition to Netflix, which described the $4.56 million prize as the largest, came from Fox;s X Factor competition. X Factor had contracts worth around $5 million. Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s documentary and unscripted content officer, said he and series director Hwank Donk-hyuk were excited to embark on this journey;
During the Banff World Media Festival event held yesterday, it was announced that the competition program will last a total of 10 episodes. Netflix also announced that they have reached an agreement with Squid Game for a second season. Squid Game, which held viewership records before the fourth season of Stranger Things came out, will probably break records with its second season after this competition. The program, which is open to competitors from all over the world, can be registered at SquidGameCasting.com and you can try your luck. It’s unclear how the $4.56 million will be distributed, but considering the current rate, even a small reward could be enough to change lives here.
