The most popular YouTuber, MrBeast, has revealed that he is filming a game show for Amazon Prime Video. The show guarantees a $5 million cash reward to the winner, which might be the greatest payout in TV history.

"Big news gamers, I'm going to be filming the largest game show in history and releasing it on Prime Video!" he posted on X, formerly Twitter. More than a thousand competitors, a $5,000,000 reward, and numerous additional world records


The types of obstacles that participants in the Beast Games will face are unknown. In the past, Prime Video has used well-known creators to produce new series. Critical Role is a successful Dungeons & Dragons actual play game that was adapted into an animated series by Amazon Studios.

Jimmy Donaldson, sometimes known as MrBeast, created a real-life Squid Game film for his YouTube channel in 2021. Then, Squid Game: The Challenge, a reality competition show on Netflix with a $4.65 million prize, debuted.

In an interview with The Colin and Samir Show, Donaldson stated, "I have to make videos around titles and thumbnails on YouTube." But I can do anything I want on this show. I can simply create quality stuff. Beast Games, which will only be available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories, will have him as executive producer.

Donaldson frequently awards participants with hundreds of thousands of dollars on his 245 million-subscriber YouTube channel for accomplishing absurd feats like spending weeks living in a grocery store. The issue is that he can reach a younger audience on YouTube—those under thirty years old. It's likely that most adults above that age haven't heard of him. For the man from North Carolina, though, everything is about to change.
