MrBeast’s Controversial ‘Beast Games’ Sets Prime Video Premiere Date, Releases Teaser Trailer for ‘Squid Games’-Inspired Competition Show


MrBeast is the ringmaster in 'Beast Games,' a competition for a $5 million prize, with a Dec. 19 premiere date on Amazon's Prime Video.

“I spent over a year creating this 10 episode competition series, breaking 40 world records, building the craziest sets in entertainment history, featuring 1,000 players, and a $5,000,000 grand prize!” MrBeast wrote. MrBeast has taken a crack at copying “Squid Game” before: His most-viewed video on YouTube to date is his 2021 reenactment of the Netflix show, which replicated elimination challenges from series and awarded the winner $456,000. In announcing the greenlight for the show earlier this year, Amazon touted it as “the world’s largest live gameshow” with the “biggest single prize in the history of television and streaming.”
