Beast Games season 2 sets its January 2026 premiere date on Prime Video as the hit series returns with bigger challenges, a “Strong vs. Smart” showdown, and the highest stakes in the show’s history.
Prime Video has officially announced that the second season of Beast Games, the global competition phenomenon from Jimmy Donaldson—better known as MrBeast—will premiere on January 7, 2026. Fans won’t have to wait long to dive in, as the first three episodes arrive on premiere day, with new episodes rolling out weekly until the season finale on February 25.
To build excitement ahead of launch, Prime Video also released an exclusive first-look tease at the show’s striking Beast City. The larger-than-life arena will return with a revamped intensity, setting the stage for a new season that centers on a dramatic “Strong vs. Smart” narrative.
Season 1 of Beast Games broke records across the platform, rapidly becoming Prime Video’s most-watched unscripted series ever. The show pulled in 50 million viewers within its first 25 days and was renewed for Season 3 during Amazon’s upfront event in May, signaling ongoing confidence in the franchise.
Season 2 promises to raise the stakes even further. MrBeast has gathered 100 of the strongest competitors on the planet and 100 of the world’s smartest players, all facing off for a massive $5,000,000 prize. As the season unfolds, viewers can expect a high-pressure blend of physical strength, mental prowess, shifting alliances, and strategic betrayal. Every challenge will push contestants to their breaking points as they battle for the life-changing reward.
Jimmy Donaldson returns as both host and executive producer. The series is co-created by Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin, and Mack Hopkins. Klitzner and Matt Apps serve as showrunners alongside executive producers Michael Cruz, Jeff Housenbold, Tyler Conklin, Michael Miller, Josh Kulic, and Chris Keiper. Conklin will also return in his role as Series Director.
Beast Games Season 2 will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
