Prime Video Strengthens Its Partnership with MrBeast

Prime Video is making a significant commitment to MrBeast.

The Amazon streaming platform has announced a two-season renewal for the reality competition series Beast Games, which is hosted and executive produced by the immensely popular YouTube sensation, Jimmy Donaldson.

In its inaugural season, the series featured 1,000 contestants competing for a staggering $5 million cash prize. This amount was later doubled in a high-stakes, all-or-nothing gamble towards the end of the season. Throughout the season, Donaldson also distributed millions in additional prizes, including a private island.

Donaldson has since revealed that he incurred significant losses on the show, driven by his ambition to create the most extravagant competition series in history. The renewal for two additional seasons will likely provide him with the opportunity to further develop this ambitious vision. Amazon has confirmed that Donaldson will return as both host and executive producer.

According to Prime Video, Beast Games has become the most-viewed unscripted series in the platform’s history since its debut in December, attracting approximately 50 million viewers.

“MrBeast has reached a remarkable milestone for our global Prime Video audience, bringing to life the largest reality competition series ever,” stated Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “Following its record-breaking first season, we are excited to announce that two more seasons of Beast Games are on the horizon, and we eagerly await the new, jaw-dropping challenges MrBeast has in store for the contestants.”

“Our aim was to create the biggest and boldest competition series ever produced, and the response has surpassed all expectations,” remarked Jeff Housenbold, CEO of MrBeast Industries. “Beast Games has resonated with fans globally, which speaks volumes about the creativity of Jimmy and the entire Beast team. We are thankful to Amazon for their ongoing partnership, and we’re thrilled to elevate the bar even higher in the upcoming two seasons.”
