Amazon Prime Video on Thursday announced a release date for the second season of 'Beast Games', a popular reality show by YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known to his 451 million subscribers as Mr Beast.

"Season 2 of Beast Games will feature 100 of the planet’s strongest competitors and 100 of the world’s smartest minds in a “Strong vs. Smart” battle for an eye-watering $5 million prize," the streaming service said.

The first three episodes of the new season will be available from January 7 itself, after which the following episodes will be released weekly, leading up to the season finale on February 25.

The record-breaking game show, which became the streaming platform's "most-watched unscripted show ever", garnered 50 million views within a month of its release.

Notably, 'Beast Games' became so successful that Amazon Prime Video even greenlit the show for two seasons back in May this year.

(More details are awaited.)
