Prime Video is gearing up to reopen the gates of Beast City as it officially announces the return of its global reality-competition sensation, Beast Games. Created by YouTube megastar Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, the new season is set to premiere on January 7, 2026, with the first three episodes dropping together. Weekly releases will follow, leading to the grand finale on February 25.
A Bigger, Bolder Beast City Returns
Along with the premiere announcement, Prime Video unveiled a first look at a redesigned Beast City—bigger, flashier and more elaborate than before. Teasers highlight massive sets, heightened stakes and upgraded game zones, promising a far more intense arena for competitors.
Season One was a colossal hit for Prime Video. In just 25 days, the show pulled in 50 million viewers, becoming the platform’s most-watched unscripted title ever. Its explosive success even led Amazon to renew the show for Season Three ahead of time.
What to Expect: High-Pressure Games & Unpredictable Alliances
Season Two is set to push contestants harder, both mentally and physically. Players will navigate:
- Split-second, high-pressure decisions
- Unpredictable team dynamics
- Exhausting endurance tasks
- Strategic puzzles testing intelligence and adaptability
Prime Video hints that alliances will be broken as quickly as they form, trust will become a tactical weapon, and every step could mean survival—or elimination.
MrBeast Returns as the Mastermind Host
MrBeast will once again serve as host and executive producer, ensuring the series maintains its signature mix of unpredictability and spectacle. He’s joined by returning co-creators Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin and Mack Hopkins, with Klitzner and Matt Apps continuing as showrunners.
The powerhouse team behind the camera—including executive producers Michael Cruz, Jeff Housenbold, Tyler Conklin, Michael Miller, Josh Kulic and Chris Keiper—promises a season packed with cinematic production values and edge-of-the-seat moments.
A Global Release Across 240+ Countries
Beast Games Season Two is set for a worldwide release, streaming exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories, solidifying its position as one of the biggest global reality-competition franchises today.
Inside Season Two: The Epic ‘Strong vs. Smart’ Showdown
The defining twist of Season Two is its theme: Strong vs. Smart.
For the first time, MrBeast has divided contestants into two mega-teams:
• Team Strong:
100 of the physically strongest, most resilient competitors from across the globe.
• Team Smart:
100 of the sharpest strategists, problem-solvers and intellectual powerhouses.
These two groups will collide in a series of challenges designed to test mental agility, raw strength, teamwork, strategy and endurance. Both factions must outsmart each other—and the unpredictable terrain of Beast City—to stay alive in the game.
Hovering over them is one of the largest individual prizes in reality TV history:

With an expanded format, an upgraded Beast City and the high-stakes Strong vs. Smart rivalry, Beast Games Season Two promises to exceed the global phenomenon of its predecessor. Backed by MrBeast’s signature creativity and Prime Video’s massive scale, the upcoming season is poised to redefine reality competition television yet again—bigger, wilder and smarter than ever before.
