The unparalleled success MrBeast has gotten on YouTube is unbelievable. He has completely changed the formula for a successful video on the platform and his stats speak for themselves. He has received a whopping 39 billion views across all his channels on YouTube alone. After achieving this level of success here, it is natural for him to explore other territories too.
His endeavor in making bite-sized content for TikTok and YouTube Shorts was another success. MrBeast is looking to expand his content to a more mature audience. To achieve this, he recently reached out to Netflix Executive Chairman Reed Hastings. Now, it looks like YouTube King is open to giving other platforms a chance too.

In his recent tweet, MrBeast pitched an idea he had just for fun. He wished to take his formula of making challenges involving over-the-top prize money and interesting participants to the streaming platforms. He tweeted, “Imagine a 10 episode series with 10,000 people competing for the largest prize in game show history.”

He has reached out to multiple streaming platforms for this idea. He asked Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and Disney Plus to be a part of this iconic show. This pitch has also attracted the attention of a lot of fans. While the platforms are yet to respond to MrBeast’s pitch, fans are rushing in to just be a participant in this imaginative show.
Although just an idea currently, making this show a success like his YouTube videos can be a challenging task for the 25-year-old. MrBeast has catered to a younger audience on his current platform. YouTube has 77% of active users between the age of 15 and 25.
On the other hand, streaming services have a more mature user base behind them. For example, 75% of Netflix users in the US are between 18 and 34 years old. Adapting his content for a more mature audience will be a challenge in itself for MrBeast.
