Squid Game: The Challenge, Bringing the Squid Game to Real Life, Received Approval for Season 2: Applications for the Competition Have Also Started

Netflix started broadcasting Squid Game: The Challenge, a competition program that brings the popular series Squid Game to real life, in recent weeks. The production, which consists of 10 episodes, will complete its first season with the release of its last episode tonight.

As the first season is coming to an end, Netflix has received news that will please the fans of the series. Squid Game: The Challenge has been approved for a second season.

Applications have started for those who want to participate in the competition in the second season.

Speaking about the second season approval, Netflix executive Brandon Riegg said, referring to the competition: “There was no red light barrier to our decision to green light the second season of Squid Game: The Challenge, the most ambitious unscripted series we have made at Netflix.”

Following approval, Netflix also started the application process for those who want to participate in the competition. Those who wish can apply by clicking the link here, regardless of country. To apply, there are conditions such as being over 21 years of age, having a passport, and being eligible to participate in the program for at least four weeks. After entering their information, participants must also upload a 1-minute video in which they talk about themselves and things like why they want to participate in the contest.

Just like the first season, 456 people will participate in the competition in the second season. The winner will receive a prize of $4.56 million.

Squid Game: The Challenge has been at the top of Netflix’s top 10 English content list for the last two weeks. The series attracted 20.5 million viewers in its first week and 11.4 million viewers in its second week. We can predict that this number will increase when the last episode is published.

Even though the competition was ranked at the top, it did not receive good comments from users. Additionally, some claims from the contestants created controversy. Several participants said they suffered injuries during the games and threatened to sue Netflix.
