The second series of Beast Games lands on Prime Video sooner than you think
YouTuber MrBeast will return to screens with a brand new season of Beast Games in just a matter of days.
Premiering this week, the brand new season will land on Prime Video as contestants battle it out in the hopes of winning a staggering prize pot of $5,000,000 which equates to around £3.7 million – making it one of the largest prize winnings in reality competition history.
It will also include a special edition crossover episode featuring the Emmy-Award Winning series Survivor, and its legendary host Jeff Probst.
The first season, which ran from December 2024 to January 2025, achieved massive success, becoming Prime’s most-watched unscripted show ever with 50 million viewers in just 25 days and it will now be back on screens on January 7.
Promising to be even bigger and better than before, 200 contestants will be split between 100 of the world’s strongest and 100 of the world’s smartest as they go head to head in the hopes of winning a life changing sum.
But fans may be disappointed to learn that not all episodes will be available straight away. Titled ‘Strong vs Smart’, the new season will see a weekly release, ending this month – here’s everything you need to know about the current release schedule.
