Netflix looking for 456 real players to win cash prize in Squid Game reality series

Netflix has announced it is bringing its megahit series Squid Game to life with a new reality competition series.

The dystopian Korean drama became the streaming giant's "biggest TV show ever" after being released last year. Fans will now be able to apply for Squid Game: The Challenge, which will see 456 real players enter the game in pursuit of a prize of 4.56 million dollars (£3,736,054).

Netflix claims the show will host the largest cast and cash pot prize in reality TV history. The 10-part competition will see competitors battle through a series of games inspired by the original show, alongside some new additions.
