One of the biggest names on YouTube is expanding his reach to Amazon's streaming services.

You'll know MrBeast for his unique and high-quality style videos - each different from the next.

If he and his crew aren't showcasing a car that can fly or that exhales drinkable water, he's hosting game shows where a group of people compete in a challenge in return for a huge cash prize. Let's not forget when Squid Game was a huge hit on Netflix, MrBeast pulled off his own real-life contest for people to compete (without the same risk of course) racking up 588 million views.

Now, Amazon MGM Studios has secured a deal with the most subscribed YouTuber, outbidding other major streaming platforms.

The project is titled Beast Games and will be based on his YouTube show in a 'fast-paced and high-production format.' With 1,000 contestants competing for a $5 million cash prize, it's set to be the largest single prize in TV and streaming history.

On the back of sealing his deal, Donaldson said: 'My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms.

'Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.'

The YouTuber, real name Jimmy Donaldson, will serve as host and executive producer of Beast Games with the right to retain creative control of the production.

Amazon also commented on the deal.

'When MrBeast first told us about his concept for the show, we were blown away by his ambition to make Beast Games the biggest reality competition series ever,' said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios.

Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, added: 'MrBeast has captured the attention and imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world.

'We are excited to work with Jimmy and his talented team to bring his brilliant, high production, and stakes-raising concepts to Beast Games for our global customers to experience.'

No premiere date has been set for the show, however, it will be available exclusively on Prime Video worldwide.

Although, it's not the first time the philanthropist has taken his content out of YouTube to spin his creativity.

The 25-year-old teamed up with the creators of 'Stumble Guys' - a popular battle royale party game, to create custom gaming experiences for his fans,
