NOVOSIBIRSK, Russia, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Rape, murder and everything else in between will be allowed in an upcoming Russian reality series titled Game2: Winter.

According to The Guardian, the show will gather 30 contestants and task them with surviving in the freezing Siberian wilderness for nine months in order to receive a $1.6 million prize.

Set to be streamed online 24/7 in English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic, Game2 will be captured using 2000 specially placed cameras.

"Each contestant gives consent that they could be maimed, even killed," reads advertisements according to Deadline. "Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything."

However, the show is quick to warn that police are free to arrest anyone who commits a crime. "You must understand that the police will come and take you away," the rules state. "We are on the territory of Russia, and obey the laws of the Russian Federation."

Game2: Winter is from entrepreneur Yevgeny Pyatkovsky who is hoping that the Hunger Games-like show can reach an international audience. "Five countries have already expressed the desire to broadcast it for their audiences," he said to the Siberian Times.
