MRBEAST LAB is set to launch on Sunday, October 26, 2025. on YouTube as MrBeast’s first long-form animated series, building on earlier shorts and the Moose Toys line. The show places Jimmy and his crew inside a 100-level underground lab, creating hybrid beasts to fight a shadow force called the Shroud. It is produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios with Sam J. Levine as showrunner, and it will stream globally on the Beast Animations channel, which was renamed from MrBeast 3 ahead of launch. As per Animation Magazine report dated February 10, 2025, the CEO of MrBeast Industries, Jeffrey Housenbold, said,
“This is the perfect moment to take the MrBeast Lab world to the next level with animation. It’s an exciting new way for fans to dive deeper into the adventure and experience the world like never before.”
Trailer copy confirms the October window, while the exact premiere date is confirmed by the official Instagram page, and the episode count is still to be announced.

Before MRBEAST LAB, the team rolled out animated shorts in 2025 with Moose Toys and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. These shorts introduced the lab setting, the hybrid beasts, and the Shroud as an ongoing threat. The long-form series follows that setup and expands it into multi-episode arcs.
Production credits list Stoopid Buddy Stoodios as producer and Sam J. Levine as showrunner, drawing on prior work that includes Robot Chicken and Penn Zero. The C21Media announcement confirms that Beast Animations is the destination and that MrBeast stars as himself in a mission to build a team of super-strong monsters to defend Earth.
The trailer synopsis suggests a vertical quest through a 100-story facility. Each level poses an experiment or creature challenge. The story leans on rescue stakes when the team is separated and must regain control of the lab while containing incursions by the Shroud. Expect serialized escalation, more creature variants tied to the toy line, and YouTube-first pacing geared to weekly viewing.
To frame the intent behind the project, Animation Magazine quoted Moose Toys leadership on the expansion. As per Animation Magazine report dated February 10, 2025, CEO of Moose Toys, Paul Solomon, stated,
“We’re doubling down on our investment in MrBeast Lab, which has already been our most successful new launch ever,...The dynamic, action-packed shorts will bring a whole new dimension to MrBeast Lab, extending the brand out of the toy aisle and creating a fresh way for kids to engage with the characters. With the experience, genius and irreverent storytelling that Stoopid Buddy Stoodios brings to the party, we have found the ideal partner to bring this to life.”
The same report outlines the creative leads and confirms a fall rollout for the shorts that seeded the current series plan.
Stay tuned for more updates.
