MrBeast's successful entry into traditional television with Beast Games is evidence of the changing nature of streaming entertainment.

The first four episodes of Beast Games have now aired, the beginnings of what is likely to be a long-term collaboration between the world's most popular YouTuber and Amazon Prime. Beast Games is inspired by both Netflix's Squid Game and the most popular video on MrBeast's channel,

Beast Games has set a record for Prime Video, becoming the streamer’s most-watched unscripted series ever in its first 25 days. According to Prime Video, the series has racked up 50M viewers globally in that time frame. That also makes it the second most-watched and second most acquisitive new series of 2024, behind only Fallout.

The competition hosted and devised by Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is one of Prime Video's biggest releases of 2024, the streamer says.

Now, Beast Games has finally been dethroned for the first time since launch by a new Amazon Original Series, On Call, a police drama that dropped all its episodes at once in a binge model just a few days ago, something of a rarity for Amazon. Here’s the synopsis:

MrBeast's competition series, Beast Games, has broken records on Amazon such as being the most watched unscripted show with 50 million views in 25 day

Prime Video has set a new milestone with Beast Games, a reality competition series hosted by MrBeast. The show recorded 50 million global viewers within 25 days of its December 19, 2024, debut, making it the platform's most-watched unscripted series.
