Interested applicants must be at least 21 years of age, and available for four weeks, to begin filming in early 2023.
The streaming production is heavily devoted to this reality, and it gave a small spoiler during the contestants’ quest, stating that players should be available to travel around the world in the meantime.
“Real players will be immersed in the symbolic universe of the ‘Squid Game’ without knowing what awaits them”, indicated the recruitment note, which “promises a series of trials that will leave you breathless”.
