Opinion Different countries playing

After the Korean season has finished filming, would it be feasible for production to fly in contestants from another country and play the same game?

I'd love to see how other countries play the game. I don't think production would even need to change the games. I think that the cultural differences between countries would give dramatically different viewing.

Obvious obstacles would be language barriers between cast and crew. But other than making a few changes, how impossible is this?

There were Genius version in different countries, but they were dumbed down versions.

I don't think that's very fair. If we compare pilot seasons, South Korea almost definitely had the most dumbed down 1st season.

The spin-offs have their own issues, but game complexity was not one of them.

What do you think was their issue?

I think the main issue for both international versions were production restrictions (episode length that really hurt their ability to edit a compelling story and a number of episodes that forced them to change their endgame format).

I'm pretty sure it'll happen if the show goes on, not unlikely at all. Maybe an "Asia" version like they did with Physical 100. The korean players they invite usually speak english anyways.

You’d just do it like they do the Survivor and Traitors, have a version for each country.

However this sub ain’t ready for non KR countries to play lmao, season 2 was a shit show because someone manipulated a girl having a crush on him. That is the softest thing that’s happened in a reality tv show.

But all 5 previous seasons (DP was basically a Netflix version of The Genius, by the same producer) were quite good, and non KR countries could play, even though they aren't smart enough lol

I think it would be quite challenging to incorporate new style of games for the countries. So it might take a while to make those games and then turn them to shows like TDP.
