MrBeast, the YouTube phenomenon born Jimmy Donaldson, has just struck his biggest deal yet. The filmmaker has teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video for Beast Games, a new game show where 1,000 contestants will be fighting to win a $5 million reward. According to the press blurb, it's the biggest single prize in the history of TV and streaming.
This isn't the first time MrBeast has come for Squid Game. In 2021, he spent $3.5 million dollars making a Squid Game video (see below), which is believed to have made him $1.4 million in profit. But that pales in comparison with this, which Donaldson says will have "many other world records" other than the competitors and prize money.
