It doesn’t really set a great precedent.” Reality show “Squid Game: The Challenge” is set to make history as the largest reality show ever. There will be 456 real players competing for a multi-million dollar cash prize. Contestants compete through a series of games inspired by the original show. However, new additions, strategies, alliances, and characters are put to the test as competitors are eliminated around them. The 10-episode competition series will be filmed in the U.K. The international series, inspired by the Korean drama of the same name, is currently casting.
