Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has been wrapped up with making and filming the Prime Video show Beast Games for the better part of the last year. The YouTuber turned reality TV showrunner has been promoting the game show heavily since it premiered earlier this month on December 19, 2024.
Since then, three episodes have been released on Prime Video, with MrBeast also hosting a $100K giveaway on the day of the launch of the latest episode to compete with Squid Games Season 2. With Beast Games having had quite a successful launch, fans might wonder what Jimmy's future projects would be.
On December 30, a clip from Noah Lyles' podcast with MrBeast where YouTube talked about one of his upcoming videos went viral on X. In the clip, MrBeast revealed a video that his team is working on involving two aviation school graduates challenged to live in a private jet for 100 days. If the two pilots manage to complete the challenge they can keep the jet for themselves:
"This one is crazy. We bought a private jet and then, um, we found two people who just graduated aviation school. Put them inside the jet. Closed the door and I said, 'If you guys live in this private jet for 100 days, I'll let you keep it.' It's a really nice jet, it's like a Hawker 2000 or whatever."
MrBeast went on to elucidate what the challenge entails.
"They can fly it anywhere around the world, they get unlimited fuel, blah, blah, blah. So, they can fly the jet to New York, land it, and then Uber Eats some pizza, you know? But they can't leave it. They can open the door and the Uber driver gives them the pizza and they can fly to California so they just have to stay in the jet for a hundred days."
But that was not the only idea shared by Donaldson during the podcast.
One of MrBeast's current YouTube projects involves living in a gym challenge
On top of the private jet video, MrBeast discussed another video idea in the works. For this one, the YouTuber has built a big gym:
"I mean the thing is we're filming this before the show drops. So, all I can think about right now is the show. You know I've put the whole year of my life and everything into it. But the other big project have going on is, uh, we just started a video where we built a gym. Like, just a weight room, everything, a basketball court. Like a really big gym."
The video entails one of MrBeast's friends who has accepted the challenge to live in the gym and not leave till he loses 100 pounds. If the contestant does lose the weight without going out of the gym, he will win $500K:
"Then we put a big circle around it and I told one of my friends who said he wanted to be in a video and he wanted to lose some weight. So I was like, 'Perfect!' So, we're putting him in there and if he loses 100 pounds before he leaves the circle around the gym, then he wins $500,000. But if he doesn't lose 100 pounds before he leaves, he gets nothing."

MrBeast did mention that the video will take quite a long time to make as the contestant may require almost a year to lose weight. Meaning, the video might not come out before 2026:
"So we just started that video, because we have doctors, yeah he has to live in the gym. So he's got to do it healthily, so it might take him a year. So we just started the video and it literally might not even go up till 2026 because it will take time to edit after he loses the weight and stuff, um so that's a big one."
Meanwhile, MrBeast's Beast Games has certainly become quite popular after launch and the first episode is available for free after the YouTuber removed the copyright.
