The show, inspired by the hit South Korean series, features 456 players vying for a cash prize of $4.56 million. With season one concluding, applications for season two are now open.

"Squid Game: The Challenge" continues to captivate audiences worldwide as it prepares for its next installment, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate another intense competition.
