　　Amazon appears to be moving forward with additional seasons of Beast Games.
　　Deadline understands that the streamer is casting for Season 2 and, though there hasn’t been an official renewal announcement, we hear there’s talk of a two-season order for the MrBeast-fronted series. Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios Mike Hopkins seemed to confirm that Wednesday during a panel at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles.

　　TV series “Fear Factor” is returning for a new generation.
　　Originally hosted by Joe Rogan, “Fear Factor” aired on NBC between 2001 and 2006, and the basic idea was that contestants were tasked with overcoming their fears by doing all sorts of gross and horrifying things. In one episode, they had to literally eat horse rectum. In another, they had to bob for rings at the bottom of a tank filled with cow’s blood. Yeah. No thank you.
　　The original “Fear Factor” ran for six seasons, with Ludacris hosting a short-lived revival of the series back in 2017. That version of the series ended up running for just two seasons.
　　So what’s the new twist for this latest revival? Variety reports that “Fear Factor: The Next Chapter” will be “bigger, bolder and more daring” than the series has ever been before.
　　In the new reboot series, “Dropped into an unforgiving, remote location, a group of strangers will live together under one roof, and face mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting — and fear is a weapon.”
　　“The reinvention piece is critical here. It’s called Fear Factor, and we’re going to take the brand name,” Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade teases. “But I think the producer’s come up with a really interesting take on it, and it’s not going to feel like the show from 20 years ago.”
　　“Fear Factor” is expected to return with the new FOX series in 2026. You can get yourself ready for more disgusting challenges by revisiting the original show’s craziest moments below.
