Kendrick Lamar has the streets moving with his scorching Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” Though Lamar is known to take his time in between his albums — and he hasn’t announced an album yet this year — all eyes are on Lamar this year, as his features and standalone diss tracks have garnered him much buzz.

Tomorrow (June 19), Lamar will perform at Kia Forum in Los Angeles in a special concert called The Pop Out — Ken & Friends. At the time of writing, said “friends” have yet to be revealed, however, DJ Hed and Mustard, as well as their own groups of friends, will also be performing.

Tickets sold out for The Pop Out rather quickly, however, fans who weren’t able to get tickets — and those not in LA — will still be able to see the concert.

MrBeast Reality Will Award $5 Million Grand Prize - Biggest in TV History On New Prime Video Reality Show

Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, the biggest YouTuber in the world with 245 million subscribers whose brand is aligned with big-money giveaways, is thinking even bigger on his new reality show, Beast Games, which is in the works at Amazon’s Prime Video. Variety reports that his show, which he’s calling Beast Games, “is a reality-competition show promising the winner a $5 million cash prize.” This seems to be the biggest payout ever in TV history.

Details remain under wraps. However, according to Prime Video, the show will feature 1,000 contestants, yes 1,000, all competing for a single $5 million payout in a “fast-paced and high-production format.” That’s a lot of people and whole lotta dough. 

MrBeast will serve as the show’s host and executive producer of Beast Games. There’s no premiere date, but the show will only be available on Prime Video worldwide.

“My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms,” MrBeast said in a statement. Amazon gave me the creative control I needed to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”

Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, said, “MrBeast has captured the attention and imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world. We are excited to work with Jimmy and his talented team to bring his brilliant, high production, and stakes-raising concepts to Beast Games for our global customers to experience.”

“When MrBeast first told us about his concept for the show, we were blown away by his ambition to make Beast Games the biggest reality competition series ever,” from Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. Sanders also thanked Spotter, and their founder Aaron DeBevoise and president Nic Paul, for the introduction to MrBeast “and kickstarting this journey for us.” Spotter pays YouTube creators cash for the rights to monetize their video libraries and helps them grow their fanbases, counts MrBeast as a client.

Variety also reports MrBeast, who currently works and lives in Greenville, N.C., generated roughly 82 million in gross earnings from June 2022-June 2023, according to Forbes, more than twice the earnings of the closest digital creator.

“Fallout” TV Series On Prime Video: What We Know

Gamers are not always thrilled when news of a movie or series based on a great game is announced. Usually, it’s because they worry that this film or show could never do the game justice. However, sometimes expectations are desirably met, and most recently, that happened with HBO’s The Last Of Us. Peacock also recently scored a win with Twisted Metal, and now, Prime Video is adapting Fallout for the TV screen.

The post-apocalyptic action game has been a hit among gamers for years. Since its very first installment was released in 1997, gamers have wholeheartedly immersed themselves in the world of Fallout. Now, with this new series, they have the opportunity to do so again. However, this time, the rest of the world will have the opportunity to experience the game’s harsh world on-screen as well. Admittedly, some fans are skeptical, and will probably remain so until they see the show. Nonetheless, the excitement is palpable, especially with the recent release of the show’s trailer. Here’s all we know about the upcoming Fallout TV series.

The Premise Of Fallout

Following the original plot of the game, the Fallout series will tell a post-apocalyptic tale. During a devastating nuclear war in an alternate reality, the Earth is left in terrible shape and almost completely destroyed. However, a number of survivors take refuge in a series of self-contained, technologically enhanced underground shelters known as Vaults. Two centuries later, Lucy, our primary protagonist and a descendant of the original Vault dwellers, emerges from her vault. Subsequently, she ventures into the wasteland, beginning a dangerous and adventurous journey.

Production And Development

The first announcement of a TV adaptation of Fallout was made in July 2020. It was revealed that the series was set to be developed by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for Amazon Studios. However, fans had no idea how long it would take to get ready or when a release date would be announced. Later, in January 2022, fans received news that Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner had been hired as showrunners. Soon after, actors were cast in roles, and filming began on July 5, 2022.

As aforementioned, casting began in 2022. Walton Goggins was the first to bag his role as The Ghoul / Cooper Howard in February 2022.

Aaron Moten is also billed as a member of the main cast, and will be playing the character Maximus. Guest and supporting cast members include Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudhury, Matt Berry, Mike Doyle, and Leslie Uggams, among others. Altogether, these actors have been placed with the responsibility of bringing Fallout to life on TV screens. 

Trailer And Release Date

While fans were initially worried about the treatment of this show, the trailers have significantly taken the edge off. On December 2, 2023, the teaser trailer was released, introducing viewers to the world of Fallout on TV. Subsequently, on March 7, 2024, the official trailer dropped, giving viewers a longer glimpse of what is to come. In less than 24 hours, the trailer amassed over five million views on YouTube. Evidently, fans are excited, and prepared to experience Fallout on TV for the first time. The series is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on April 11, 2024.
