MrBeast’s Beast Games Season 2 Premieres on Amazon in 2026

Bigger Prizes, Tougher Players, and the ‘Strong vs Smart’ Showdown

Get ready to scream, panic, cheer, and refresh your Amazon Prime app—because Beast Games Season 2 is officially dropping on January 7, 2026. And yes, MrBeast is back to make contestants question their life choices and compete for millions.

The show made history the moment it landed on Prime Video, becoming Amazon’s most-watched unscripted series ever. So naturally, Season 2 is coming in hot—with the first three episodes premiering at once, followed by weekly chaos.

We literally built a massive city for Beast Games season 2, show drops January 7th on Prime Video!!

And the prize?
$5 million.
(Though, let’s be honest… last season was supposed to be $5M too, and MrBeast ended up giving away a ridiculous $25 million total. The winner alone, Jeffrey Randall Allen, walked away with $10 million. So truly, who knows what will happen this time.)

This season introduces a wild narrative twist Amazon is hyping as “Strong vs. Smart”—think brainiacs versus beasts. Production reportedly filmed portions of the new season in Saudi Arabia, giving it an even grander global scale.

In case you missed Season 1:
1,000 contestants battled through physical, mental, and social challenges in one of the biggest reality competitions ever designed. It aired from December to February and turned everyday people into internet legends overnight.

Who’s Behind the Madness?

• Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast) – Host + Executive Producer + Chief Chaos Officer

• Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin, Mack Hopkins – Series Co-Creators

• Klitzner & Matt Apps – Showrunners + Executive Producers

• Michael Cruz, Jeff Housenbold, Conklin, Michael Miller, Josh Kulic, Chris Keiper – Executive Producers

• Tyler Conklin – Series Director

Earlier this year, Jeff Housenbold (CEO of MrBeast Industries) promised the team is “raising the bar even higher.”
Meanwhile, MrBeast himself casually told Deadline he wants “another 10 seasons.”
No big deal.

If Season 1 was massive, Season 2 looks ready to explode the internet all over again. Prepare for bigger stakes, bigger spectacles, and bigger Beast energy.
