With Season 3 of the main Squid Game saga concluding, the franchise is expanding. The next face of the game could be yours, but getting cast is the first, most critical challenge. This isn’t about luck; it’s about preparation, strategy, and telling a story that casting directors can’t ignore.

Here we are sharing the five parts and 6 month Preapration plan to get ready for upcoming New audition for Squid Game.

Part 1: The Six-Month Prep Plan (What to Do Before Auditions Open)

The smartest players don’t wait for the announcement. They get ready. Use the months leading up to December 2025 to build your profile.

• Define Your “Why”: This is your core story. Casting directors, including reality TV veteran Robyn Kass, have said they look for “deserving” people with great stories. Why you? What would the prize money truly mean for your life? Go deeper than “I want to be rich.” Are you trying to pay off your parents’ mortgage? Fund a community project? Escape a dead-end town? Find that emotional core.
• Practice Your Pitch: Get your phone, prop it up, and talk. Record yourself telling stories. Get comfortable on camera. Watch it back. Are you energetic? Do you sound authentic? The more you practice, the more natural you’ll be when it counts.
• Do a Social Media Audit: Casting teams will look you up. Does your online presence match the person you want to portray? Ensure your profiles are public (or at least one you’re willing to share) and reflect your genuine personality.
• Get Mentally Tough: Contestants from “The Challenge” often talk about the psychological toll of the dorm life, not just the games. Start practicing mindfulness, work on your strategic thinking with puzzles or board games, and get comfortable with the idea of both conflict and alliance.

Part 2: The Squid Game Audition Video: Your 60-Second Super Bowl

This is it. Your one-minute video is your single best chance to stand out from hundreds of thousands of applicants.

The “Show, Don’t Tell” Rule: This is the most repeated piece of advice from casting directors.

• DON’T SAY: “I’m hilarious.”
• DO: Tell a quick, genuinely funny story that makes them laugh.
• DON’T SAY: “I’m a great leader.”
• DO: Give a 15-second example of a time you took charge and it paid off.

Your Winning Video Structure:

1. The Hook (0-10 sec): High energy from the start. “My name is [Name], I’m a [Job], and my friends say I’m the most deceptively competitive person they know.”
2. The “Why” (10-30 sec): Connect to your core story. “I’m not just playing for the money; I’m playing to prove to myself that the quiet kid from a small town can outsmart everyone.”
3. The Game Plan (30-50 sec): Show you’ve thought about it. “My strategy isn’t to be the strongest; it’s to be the most trusted. I’ll build a small, loyal crew and make my big moves when no one sees it coming.”
4. The Closing (50-60 sec): End with confidence. “You’re looking for a winner nobody expects. That’s me. See you in the dorms.”

Part 3: The In-Depth Application: Beyond the Video

The video gets their attention; the detailed questionnaire tells them if you’re the real deal.

• The Form: Expect dozens of questions. Answer every single one with honesty and detail. This is where they build a psychological profile. Be consistent with the personality you showed in your video.
• The Photos: You will need a clear headshot and a full-body photo. No filters, no sunglasses, no hats. They need to see you. This isn’t Instagram; it’s a casting file.

Part 4: Bites from Past Players: What They Wish They Knew

• On Strategy (Bryton, Player 432): He advised future players not to have a rigid plan. “Don’t have a strategy or a plan because it’s probably going to go to shit the moment that you get in there… just go in there, have fun.” The takeaway? Be adaptable.
• On Authenticity (Casting Directors): The theme that comes up again and again is being genuine. They want real people, not reality TV wannabes. They can spot someone faking it instantly.
• On The Dorm Life: Many contestants have said the hardest part wasn’t the games, but the 24/7 social strategy and paranoia in the dorms. Being able to read people and build genuine (or strategic) connections is a survival skill.

Part 5: The Procedure: From “Submitted” to Selection

Getting past the first stage is a huge accomplishment. Here’s what the audition procedure looks like next:

1. The Callback: An email or call from a casting producer. This is your first live test. They want to see if your video energy is real.
2. The Zoom Interviews: You’ll meet with more senior producers. They are trying to visualize you in the show. How will you interact with other personalities? Do you create drama, humor, or suspense?
3. The Background Check: A deep dive into your life. Be prepared for this.
4. The Final Hurdles: Medical and psychological evaluations are the last step to ensure you are fit for the intense environment of the show.

The entire process is long. You may not hear back for months. The best advice is to submit your application and then focus on your life. If they want you, they will find you.

Your game has already begun. Prepare your story, film your truth, and get ready for the call. Good luck.
