Mr Beast's controversial 'Beast Games' reality show is finally here. The title will pit Mr Beast's fans against each other, with the winner receiving a sizable 5 million USD cash prize. So far, the Season 1 Beast Games has included over 1,000 contestants and a city Mr Beast's team built "from scratch". Here's everything we know about Mr Beast, the Beast Games, where fans can watch and the series' release schedule.

Who is Mr Beast?

James "Mr Beast" Donaldson is a 26-year-old American YouTuber who is famous for his philanthropy and competition content. He has over 337 million subscribers on his official YouTube channel. Aside from his main account, Donaldson's Mr Beast brand includes the Mr Beast 2, Mr Beast Gaming, Beast Philanthropy and Beast Reacts channels.

Donaldson has co-founded several philanthropy organizations, including Team Seas and Team Trees. He also owns Feastables, a snack company, and Mr Beast Burger, a virtual restaurant chain. Feastables collaborated with Logan Paul and KSI's brand Prime this year to create Mr Beast's latest venture, Lunchly meal packs.

It's worth noting that Donaldson has faced several controversies, with some involving the Beast Games series. Mr Beast and Amazon were hit with a lawsuit alleging unsafe business practices and sexual harassment during the Beast Games filming period. The suit stated: "Several contestants ended up hospitalized... others reported suffering physical and mental complications while being subjected to chronic mistreatment, degradation and, for the female contestants, hostile working conditions." Donaldson's staff allegedly failed to pay minimum wage or overtime, enabled or failed to prevent sexual harassment, failed to provide lunch breaks or medications and enabled false advertisement or unethical business practices.

Mr Beast responded to the allegations in an interview on the YouTuber Oompaville's channel in November. He alleged that some claims of injuries on set contained "disinformation" and that "I think in general, a lot of it has just been blown out of proportion."

What is the 'Beast Games' Series?

The 'Beast Games' is a reality competition series hosted by Mr Beast. Over 1,000 contestants compete through various challenges in the series to win a 5 million USD cash prize. Mr Beast fans could apply to be a contestant online via a now-closed website, www.beastgames.com.

'Beast Games' is produced by Amazon Prime Video. It is rated Parental Guidance (TV-PG) and stars Donaldson and his Mr Beast brand. Donaldson's YouTube co-stars including Karl Jacobs and Chandler Hallow also make appearances.

The 2024 Beast Games season contains 10 episodes, each up to an hour long.
