Netflix is recruiting participants for a reality TV show inspired by its most popular series of all time, Squid Game.

However, the stake will not be life or death as depicted in the South Korean dystopian drama.

Instead, 456 recruits from around the world will play games where "the worst fate is going home empty-handed" - missing out on a US $4.56 million prize.

Participants need to be at least 21 years old.

They must speak English, and be available for up to 4 weeks in early 2023 for filming.

Netflix confirmed that the popular series would be renewed for a second season earlier this week.
