MrBeast has given fans a first look at his new game show that gives people the chance to a win a life-changing amount of cash.

The hugely popular YouTuber has become known for giving his fans the chance to win epic prices, with the 26-year-old giving away a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, a 2020 Ford Mustang R Spec and a 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Convertible to a handful of lucky individuals in Australia over the summer.

Now, following on from the success of MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) releasing his own version of Squid Game, he's since landed another lucrative deal with Prime Video in what's been dubbed as the 'largest game show in history'.

Titled Beast Games, it's based on his YouTube show in a 'fast-paced and high-production format'.

It sees 1,000 contestants competing for a $5 million cash prize - the largest single prize in TV and streaming history.

In recent days, its been confirmed that Beast Games will air on Prime Video on December 19, but only two episodes will drop.

The remaining eight episodes will then be released on a weekly basis.

Following the huge announcement, Donaldson has shared a first-look at his huge new game show:

Sharing a snippet on Twitter, MrBeast wrote today (November 25): "Here's a little teaser for Beast Games!

"I spent over a year creating this 10 episode competition series, breaking 40 world records, building the craziest sets in entertainment history, featuring 1,000 players, and a $5,000,000 grand prize!"

"I poured everything I have into this show," he went on, "I'll see you December 19th on @PrimeVideo."

People have since shared their excitement ahead of Beast Games' release.

One person said: "This looks unreal! Gonna watch it for sure," while another excited individual wrote: "CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!"

While there's a lot of hype about the show before its release, it hasn't all been good press for Donaldson and Beast Games.

Back in September, it was reported that a handful of contestants that took part in the pre-recorded series were suing for alleged 'chronic mistreatment' on the game show.

The complaint, which was filed on September 16 in Los Angeles, called for Amazon and MrBeast’s company to pay alleged unpaid wages and expenses and that the defendants be ordered to pay unspecified punitive monetary damages.

As well as this, the complaint claims that the production teams reportedly failed to prevent sexual harassment from happening, and did not provide participants uninterrupted meal breaks or rest breaks.

UNILAD approached MrBeast and Amazon at the time.
