MrBeast spoke with Screen Rant to reveal whether his hugely successful reality competition show Beast Games should be renewed for another season.

What MrBeast’s Positive Reaction Means For Beast Games Season 2
Amazon Has The Ultimate Say On A Renewal
MrBeast is clearly excited about Beast Games. The YouTuber is very much on board with a second season. However, the ultimate decision will be made by executives at Amazon. Fortunately for MrBeast, there's concrete data to back up his excitement about a possible renewal. Less than a month after the December 19 premiere, the reality show had already been seen by 50 million viewers. That impressive number meant that the series was Amazon's second most-viewed show of the past year, with Fallout claiming the top spot. However, among just the streaming service's unscripted content, Beast Games was the winner.
Despite the extraordinary ratings, Beast Games has nonetheless been a controversial series. Back in fall 2024, multiple contestants sued MrBeast and the show's production companies over alleged mistreatment. There's a chance BeastGames season 2 will be decided by the outcome of this lawsuit, depending on how much of a financial hit there is. However, the viewership will likely reign supreme in the renewal decision; after all, most streaming services would love to have a hit show like this.
