Want to play "Squid Game" for real? Netflix is looking for recruits to compete for millions of dollars and even promises not to have you violently murdered if you lose.

"With the largest cast in reality TV history, 456 real players will enter the game in pursuit of a life-changing cash prize of $4.56 million," the streaming platform said on a site set up to look for candidates.

Netflix has finally announced a second season of sensational South Korean hit "Squid Game" will be coming to the streaming platform.

Fans of "Squid Game" had better not be holding their breath: Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has yet to write the script for season two and said on April 4 it would likely not be released before late 2024.

"I have to work on season two. Hopefully, I can show it to the fans by the end of 2024," the South Korean writer-director said at the MIPTV festival in Cannes in the south of France.
