MrBeast's new reality show, "Beast Games," premiered on Amazon Prime on December 19. The show features a record $5 million cash prize and includes physical challenges similar to those on his YouTube channel. The launch follows allegations from contestants about poor working conditions during filming, including injuries and inadequate food. A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Donaldson's production company and Amazon, claiming exploitation and unsafe conditions. Despite the controversies, Donaldson has defended the production, stating that negative claims are exaggerated. The show consists of ten episodes, with the first two available now and new episodes released weekly.
