How to apply for Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2

The Squid Game: The Challenge finale is just around the corner – but if you want to take part in Season 2 of the Netflix reality series, here’s how to apply right now.

When you watched the original Squid Game in 2021, a few things probably went through your head: “Holy sh*t!” when the first person got offed in Red Light Green Light, “Oh no!” when the old man was eliminated after Marbles, and above all else, “I wonder if I could win.”

That latter hypothetical thought (plus the success of MrBeast’s own version of the games) is what drove Netflix to transform the phenomenon into the biggest reality TV show ever, armed with an eye-watering prize fund of $4.56 million.

Over the past week, we’ve seen hundreds of players fall victim to the games and lose their chance at becoming millionaires – but maybe you wouldn’t be so unlucky?

Squid Game: The Challenge application explained

Netflix has already opened its application process for the next season of Squid Game: The Challenge. You can sign up here.

The application process opened before Netflix confirmed Season 2, but this all changed on December 6 when the streaming giant gave a second run the green light.

You can now fill in the relevant paperwork, and perhaps getting your name in this early will give you a stronger chance of making the cut.

The landing page will ask you to choose between US, UK, or global casting. Once you click through, you’ll have to complete a short form that confirms several details like your name, date of birth, and other disclaimers.

However, here’s the most important bit: you need to upload a one-minute video that tells the producers “about yourself, why you want to be on Squid Game: The Challenge, what your game plan would be and what you would do with a huge $4.56 million cash prize if you won.”

“Now it’s your chance to take part in Netflix’s biggest ever social experiment! This supersized unscripted show turns the scripted world of the drama into reality. Real-life players will be immersed in the iconic Squid Game universe and will never know what’s coming next. Here they’ll compete in a series of heart-stopping games in order to become the sole survivor* and walk away with a life-changing $4.56 million dollar cash prize,” the website reads.

“With a fortune up for grabs, who will be an ally, who will you trust, and who will you betray in this ultimate test of character?”

Squid Games: The Challenge 2 may bring back old contestants

Now, new cast members could potentially be facing some competition, as there are currently talks to bring back old contestants.

As stated by Season 1’s Contestant 301, “Would I do it again, yes. it’s difficult to put into words why i feel like that’s a Bad Idea, but my first experience on the show was extremely precious.”
