Beast Games Season 2 brings back 10 fan-favorite Season 1 players
Season 2 of Beast Games is now available on Amazon Prime Video, with fans enjoying a thrilling beginning in the inaugural episode titled “Strong vs Smart Compete for $5,000,000.” This new season features participants divided evenly into two teams named Strong and Smart. This is in a bid to showcase a combination of strength and smartness to claim a $5 million cash prize. However, with a collective prize price tag of approximately $15 million in play, this is by far the highest-stakes game yet. Most participants in this show appear to be new faces. However, MrBeast shocked fans with a surprise revival of ten participants from last year’s show that fans loved.
The premiere also included a twist toward the end of the episode. Ten current players were offered the chance to voluntarily leave the competition in exchange for $100,000, making room for returning Season 1 contestants.
With the beginning of Season 2, MrBeast welcomed back ten favorite contestants from last season to join the competition once again. These contestants had made quite an impression on Season 1, no matter if they were impressive with gameplay or did something which is still remembered as an amazing moment by fans. Not only do these returning contestants bring star power to Season 2, but they also raise the level of competition, as they will now face off against the new group of contestants.
Here are some who returned:
