Surprising Crime Drama Overtakes Beast Games as Prime Video’s Most Popular Show

MrBeast’s highly anticipated Prime Video series, Beast Games, has recently lost its top position on the platform to a newly launched crime drama.

As a leading figure in the social media landscape, MrBeast has exerted significant effort to attract viewers to Prime Video, and Beast Games stands out as his most ambitious venture to date, boasting a substantial production budget.

The series initially achieved impressive success, comfortably securing first place among the most popular shows on Prime Video. However, this dominance was short-lived.

New Crime Drama Surpasses MrBeast’s Show

Following its release on January 9, 2025, On Call, a gripping police drama, has swiftly ascended to the number one spot, relegating Beast Games to second place in U.S. rankings. The series captivates viewers with eight concise half-hour episodes, all available for binge-watching.

Set in Long Beach, California, On Call explores the dynamic between a seasoned police officer and her newly assigned partner as they tackle various emergency calls. Its engaging premise has resonated with audiences, despite the fact that it currently holds a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Notably, On Call has attracted substantial viewership without superstar actors or an extensive marketing campaign, highlighting its growing popularity within the Prime Video catalog.

Unlike On Call, which allows a full binge-viewing experience, Beast Games releases episodes weekly. This episodic format may impact its ability to maintain a top ranking in the streaming service’s charts.

As new episodes are unveiled every week through the series finale on February 13, 2025, it is expected that Beast Games will regain its momentum in the rankings as viewers return for fresh content.
