Amazon Prime Video’s new hit, Beast Games, has quickly shot up to be the most-streamed unscripted show of all time, racking up a mind-boggling 50 million views in just 25 days since its December 19 release. Hosted by YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, the reality-competition series is built around a record-breaking $5 million grand prize.

The 10-part series pits 1,000 contestants against one another in challenges that are over-the-top and utterly desperate. The show combines over-the-top spectacle with moments of intense desperation from block-stacking contests to survival games on a private Panamanian island. The cash pyramid is a recurring visual symbol of the show, representing life-changing stakes for many of the contestants. Some of these contestants have even shared heart-wrenching stories about financial struggles.

It’s just a natural fit for Beast Games as MrBeast’s very popular YouTube channel is characterized by outlandish challenges and grand acts of generosity. Yet with this shift to Prime Video, he’s dipping his toes into the world of traditional television. Viewership is up by more than 80 countries; especially strong performances are being recorded from India, the UK, and Mexico.

Despite its success, Beast Games has not been controversy-free. Five former contestants have filed a lawsuit against Amazon and Donaldson for mistreatment on the set of the show, including poor working conditions and lack of adequate medical care. MrBeast later denied the allegations, stating them to be exaggerated, and posted behind-the-scenes footage in his defense.

Only there will one see who claims the prize fund of $5 million. But for Amazon and MrBeast, Beast Games represents the culmination moment when the cultures of online content creation meet more mainstream entertainment business.
