"I'm doing it" Beast Games' MrBeast talks Season 2 renewal with Amazon Prime Video

Hot on the heels of his record-breaking reality competition show Beast Games, YouTube sensation MrBeast has made it clear he's eager for more. In a recent interview ahead of the February 13 finale, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, couldn't contain his enthusiasm about the show's future.

"I was told not to talk about [Season 2 and Season 3]," he revealed.

He added:

"I love what we did with Beast Games. I'm doing it. I loved working with Prime Video so I'm sure we're going to do it with them, 100 percent. There's no way we're not."

Given the grandiose scope of the program, the comment is hardly surprising. In a high-stakes tournament for the biggest cash prize in television history—a whopping $10 million—Beast Games gathered 1,000 competitors. With its mix of social, mental, and physical obstacles, the program has captivated viewers and is available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries.

MrBeast celebrates a record breaking debut season with Beast Games

The inaugural season of Beast Games concluded with contestant Jeffrey Allen (player 831) claiming the historic prize. What sets this reality show apart isn't just its massive prize pool—MrBeast revealed that approximately $20 million was distributed among 85 contestants throughout the season.

Allen's victory struck a chord with viewers, who found themselves in the unusual position of agreeing with a reality show's outcome. The winner plans to use his earnings to research a cure for creatine transporter deficiency, a rare genetic disorder affecting his son Lucas.

MrBeast is making a big move from YouTube to traditional streaming, shaking up the digital entertainment space. With a massive following of 361 million YouTube subscribers, 69.5 million Instagram followers, and 114.5 million TikTok followers. He's bringing serious influence to Prime Video, and his success hasn't gone unnoticed—Forbes named him the highest-paid content creator in 2022, and he claimed the title of YouTuber of the Year in 2024.

What lies ahead for MrBeast?

Although a renewal has not been formally confirmed by Prime Video, MrBeast's excitement and the show's reaction indicate that further seasons are probably in the works. The approach, which blends typical reality show features with the high production value of MrBeast's programming, has proven to be effective.

The competition show is notable for staying clear of the common problems of reality TV, such as excessive drama and unjust eliminations. Rather, it has received recognition for its uncomplicated competitive strategy and significant reward distribution.

With MrBeast's clear intention to continue and his positive relationship with Prime Video, viewers can likely expect an official announcement about future seasons soon. The success of Season 1 has established "Beast Games" as more than just an experiment—it's becoming a new standard for reality competition shows in the streaming era.
