"No surprise there. You deserve it. The first two episodes of this show are INTENSE," Ohanian wrote.
Ohanian had previously expressed excitement for the competition show and shared his eagerness to see who would win the $5 million prize, as MrBeast teased the 40 records broken and the "craziest" sets crafted during filming.
"Here's a little teaser for Beast Games! I spent over a year creating this 10 episode competition series, breaking 40 world records, building the craziest sets in entertainment history, featuring 1,000 players, and a $5,000,000 grand prize! I poured everything I have into this show, I'll see you December 19th on @PrimeVideo!" MrBeast posted.

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian nearly fell for MrBeast's 'quitting YouTube' prank
Earlier this year, Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian was among the many caught off guard by MrBeast's shocking announcement that he was quitting YouTube.
"I’m quitting YouTube," MrBeast posted on X.
However, the 26-year-old's revelation turned out to be an April Fools' prank, which Ohanian admitted that nearly fooled him.
"Not gonna lie, you almost had me there!" he commented.
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian previously expressed relief that MrBeast declined an offer to join an expedition aboard the OceanGate submersible, which imploded in the Atlantic Ocean during a ride to view the wreckage of the Titanic.
