Jimmy Donaldson is the current top dog on YouTube, but the man known as MrBeast is cooking up show ideas that could take him to other platforms. During an appearance on the Flagrant podcast, Donaldson said that he wants to produce a series for Netflix.
“I think we’re gonna do a Netflix show eventually,” Donaldson told Flagrant hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh. “We’ve just been busy.”
When the two stand-up comedians pressed Donaldson for details, he shared a couple of concepts that could fit on Netflix. Unsurprisingly, both pitches have similarities to Squid Game — the Korean thriller was the biggest hit of 2021 for both Netflix and MrBeast.
One of the proposed shows would gather 10,000 MrBeast fans in a stadium for a 10-episode elimination tournament. The other idea would also employ a “last person standing” conceit, but it would be much more violent than a typical MrBeast video.
