Squid Game the Challenge interview.
The Big Picture Most reality TV competition shows require casting teams to track down a small group of competitors with the potential to become stars. Squid Game: The Challenge, however, is a whole different beast. Just like the award-winning drama series, Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Squid Game, The Challenge needs a grand total of 456 players, and every single one of them needs to be a compelling player and a worthy winner.
Everything You Need to Know About ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Casting The big, burning question Kass and Dobrin were asked most often during the Squid Game: The Challenge casting process? As Dobrin put it, “The first thing that we always got asked is, ‘Are we gonna get killed?’” In the drama series, yes, a player puts their life on the line for a chance to win the $4.56 million.
“Usually when casting starts on any first-season show, development is still happening. They're still figuring things out, so directions change a lot for us, casting changes a lot, what they're looking for changes a lot, the show changes a lot. On a variety of shows, sometimes we'll see the show afterward and be like, ‘Hm, that's kind of a different show than I thought it was gonna be.
“It’s interesting because I feel like the majority of shows we do, we do have those parameters. I think something that both of us love about this show is that it was parameter-free. Anybody can get on the show. As long as you are of age, anything else goes. There was really nothing holding people back. So I think both of us were able to talk to, interview, meet people maybe we wouldn't normally meet on other shows because they might have more strict parameters.
It’s clear that Squid Game: The Challenge amassed quite a fanbase. Not only did it accumulate over 224 million hours watched in its first 21 days of release, but many of the contestants went on to gain significant social media followings during the show’s run.
Yet again, Dobrin and Kass must stay on their toes and be ready to adapt based on how the show evolves. But, Dobrin insisted that there’s one particular thing that makes their work on Season 2 far easier. It's the response to Season 1. She explained:
