The series debuted on Netflix on Wednesday, and eager-eyed Irish viewers may have recognised some familiar faces in the form of Donegal social media star Eric Roberts, and Kildare native Mikie Bowe who lives in Belfast.
Contestants of all ages, identities and backgrounds from all over the world will be tested in a series of physical and mental challenges to win the biggest cash prize in Netflix television - $4.56 million.
The first batch of five episodes landed on the streaming platform on Wednesday, with a second batch of four episodes to follow next week before the final episode's release on December 6. Good luck to our Irish representation!
