Beast Games Season Two Set to Launch on Prime Video: Strong vs. Smart for a $5 Million Prize

Prime Video has officially announced the highly anticipated return of Beast Games, the global competition phenomenon created by Jimmy Donaldson—better known as MrBeast. The second season is scheduled to premiere on January 7, 2026, delivering a fresh round of high-stakes challenges, gripping storytelling, and jaw-dropping competition. Fans can immediately dive into the excitement with the first three episodes dropping at launch, followed by weekly releases leading up to the grand finale on February 25.

The announcement came with an exclusive first-look tease at the show's massive and iconic Beast City, a custom-built competitive arena that became a standout element of Season One. This year, Beast City returns bigger and more electrifying, setting the stage for an intense “Strong vs. Smart” showdown that will define the season’s narrative. Contestants will be forced to rely not only on their physical or intellectual strengths but also on strategy, alliances, and adaptability as the lines blur between brains and brawn.

Season One of Beast Games was a historic success, quickly becoming Prime Video’s most-watched unscripted series of all time. Within just 25 days, it amassed an impressive 50 million viewers and captured global attention. Its overwhelming popularity led to an early renewal, with Season Three already confirmed during Amazon’s upfront presentation earlier this year.

For Season Two, MrBeast raises the stakes once again by assembling two elite groups: 100 of the strongest competitors on the planet and 100 of the smartest minds from around the world. These two forces will battle for a staggering $5,000,000 prize—one of the largest cash rewards in competition show history. As contestants navigate increasingly difficult challenges, viewers can expect broken alliances, unpredictable twists, and a relentless test of human limits. The central question looms over every episode: How far would you go for five million dollars?

MrBeast returns not only as host but also as executive producer. The creative forces behind the show—Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin, and Mack Hopkins—continue their roles as co-creators, with Klitzner and Matt Apps serving as showrunners. The executive production team includes Michael Cruz, Jeff Housenbold, Michael Miller, Josh Kulic, and Chris Keiper. Tyler Conklin also returns as the series director, ensuring the visual and narrative style remains as thrilling as ever.

Beast Games Season Two will stream exclusively on Prime Video across more than 240 countries and territories, bringing its massive global audience another round of unforgettable action, strategy, and storytelling.
