Squid Game: The Challenge: How Casting For The Show Worked (456 Players Were Chosen)

Squid Game: The Challenge season 1 features 456 participants, and it’s time to talk about how they were chosen. The new reality series just dropped at Netflix, and producers went out of their way to mimic the scripted series, Squid Game. That meant inspiring fear with nail-biting suspense. The production team also added drama with costumes (the green tracksuits are now iconic) and creative sets. The show will feature the same sick games that made the OG series a disturbing sensation. Like characters in a Grimm’s fairy tale, the contestants “play,” but the stakes are sky-high. While the reality show isn’t “do or die,” the eliminations are extremely intense.
