Prime Video said Thursday that season two of Beast Games will launch on the streaming service on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. The Amazon-owned streaming platform will debut the first three episodes that day, with new episodes dropping weekly through the finale on Feb. 25. Season two will once again see a $5 million grand prize (the inaugural season also featured a slew of other giveaways, and a high-stakes bet that saw the ultimate winner take home $10 million), and will have a "strong vs. smart" theme that will play out over the course of the season, with 100 smart contestants and 100 strong contestants.
