YouTube megastar MrBeast could be bringing his $5 million reality competition to Monaco, with the Principality named among filming locations for Beast Games Season 3 as the show expands its reach across four continents and opens casting to participants from around the world, not just America.
For Season 3, Beast Games is going truly international, inviting competitors from every country to represent their nations in what promises to be the show’s most ambitious edition yet. The worldwide casting call specifically requires participants to have legal travel access to 14 countries, including Monaco, suggesting the competition could film in the Principality.
MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who built his YouTube empire on increasingly elaborate stunts and record-breaking prize money, is seeking “world-class competitors” from across the globe to participate in challenges spanning the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, South Africa, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Panama, Fiji, UAE, Japan, Mexico and Canada, alongside Monaco.
National pride at the heart of competition
Unlike previous seasons, Season 3 will focus on national representation, with competitors encouraged to showcase their heritage through traditional clothing, flags or cultural symbols as they vie for the $5 million prize.
Prospective participants must submit a one-minute video at beastgames.com/compete explaining why they deserve to represent their country. Organisers are targeting champions, Olympians, influencers, record holders, viral sensations and individuals with unique talents ranging from chess mastery to athletic achievement.
Strict requirements for global adventure
Competitors must be 18 or older with a valid passport through January 2027, and completely available for up to six consecutive weeks between April and July 2026. The competition demands total freedom from personal, family or work obligations to maintain contest secrecy and integrity.
From American spectacle to global stage
Beast Games Season 1 featured 1,000 contestants competing for $5 million on Amazon Prime Video in late 2024 – the largest single payout in television history. The show attracted massive viewership despite production controversies. Season 2 is currently airing.
Season 3’s four-continent scope represents a dramatic expansion, transforming the competition from a primarily American event into a global spectacle. Monaco’s inclusion among just 14 filming locations suggests the Principality will play a significant role in the competition.
Submissions are now open with no announced deadline. Organisers have warned applicants about scams, noting the legitimate process never requests banking information.
