‘MrBeast’ is one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with over 246 million subscribers. It honestly is just a beast of a YouTube channel that’s run by Jimmy Donaldson and his team. I say that because each of the videos they put out on the channel gets well over a 100 million views, with many of them reaching as high as 200 million.
I am sure we’ve all seen these videos, right? The high-budget game show competition that him and his team puts together with real contestants competing for cash. Well, you’ll soon be able to watch those videos as episodes of a reality series called Beast Games on Amazon Prime Video.
Yes, Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson is teaming up with Amazon MGM Studios and is bringing his game show competition to Prime Video under a new name. The show will have over 1,000 contestants going against each other in an attempt to win a $5 million cash prize. There’s no release date set in the stone for this particular show, but it will be available to stream worldwide.
“My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms. Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”

In addition to hosting the show himself, Donaldson will also serve as an executive producer. We don’t know much about this game show just yet, but it will be based on his YouTube show, meaning you can expect to see more of what you may have already seen on his YouTube channel.
It’ll be interesting to see how this show pans out and whether Prime Video will become a permanent home for its episodes. The Beast Game will directly compete with Netflix’s own reality show that’s inspired by Squid Games. I am expecting MrBeast’s show on Prime Video to be a lot better and more popular than Netflix’s version, but only time will tell which one’s better.
