Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has a new game show in the works called Beast Games, which will be exclusively broadcasted on Amazon Prime, but the popular YouTuber and entrepreneur certainly had a number of platforms interested in being the home of his show.
The deal was worth a reported $100 million, and was officially announced earlier this year.
But, why did he pick Amazon Prime over every other platform?
“Let’s just say Amazon will give us the most creative control and by most I mean all creative control, and they’ll let me do whatever I want” MrBeast said during an appearance on YouTubers Colin and Samir’s podcast. “And other platforms, you know, didn’t” he continued. “So, there’s a reason we went with Amazon, they’re awesome, I love you guys.”
MrBeast added that Beast Games will be “the largest game show in history with the most contestants any game show has ever had, with the largest cash prize in history.”
