‘What in the Name of Holy Capitalism’: Fans React to Netflix Making an Actual Reality Show Based on the Deadly Squid Games
Netflix announcing its deadly hit series “Squid Game” into reality recently gained many attractions. The series will be brought into reality with some adjustments, of course where 456 players won’t have to kill anyone and the winner will be getting a whopping amount of $4.56 million. Soon after the announcement, SquidGameCasting.com was live and the reality series was available for “English-language speakers from any part of the world.”
Registration for the Squid Game Reality Show
The website for the registration had three options, UK casting, USA casting and Global casting with the minimum age of the applicant must be 21 years old. However, unlike the series, Netflix claims there are no life and death stakes, assuring ‘the worst fate is going home empty-handed.’

Capitalist move or marketing gimmick?
Netizens on Twitter replied, “This feels so dystopian. Turning a fictional death game into a reality show.”
Apparently Netflix is making a Squid Game reality show where hundreds of people will compete for millions of dollars.
