The world’s biggest YouTuber has a new show — and Pakistan is already watching it. The official MrBeast Lab trailer has climbed into YouTube’s trending chart in Pakistan this week, just days after the MrBeast Lab animated series premiered on the Beast Animations channel on 1 November 2026. The trailer, which declares “the battle for Earth starts on Nov 1st”, has pulled in around two million views as fans react to the return of the toy-line heroes. With eight new episodes totalling 100 minutes of animation, writers from South Park and Bob’s Burgers, and a weekly release schedule running into December, MrBeast Lab is MrBeast’s biggest bet on animation yet.

MrBeast Lab began life not as a show but as a toy line. The MrBeast Lab animated series is built on the world of MrBeast’s collectibles range with Moose Toys — the MrBeast Lab Swarms figures aimed at children aged 6 to 13 — and extends its lore of creatures brought to life by Pandemonium, described as the living energy of creativity.
The project first tested the waters in 2025 with ten three-minute animated shorts, made as a way for Jimmy Donaldson — better known as MrBeast — and his company, Beast Industries, to learn about animation. The experiment worked: the shorts drew more than 55 million views, according to TheWrap, and ended on a dramatic cliffhanger — the Lab destroyed, and the character Banana sacrificing himself to save his friends.
The new series turns that test run into a full YouTube-first animated show: an action-adventure in which a team of anthropomorphic animal creatures, created by MrBeast, defends Earth against enemies from other worlds. Season one consists of eight episodes totalling roughly 100 minutes of animation — a significant step up from the three-minute shorts.

The new episodes pick up where the shorts left off: there is no Lab any more, and shadow creatures called the Shroud are closing in. The team’s only hope is a mysterious signal suggesting that Banana — who gave everything to save his friends — may still be alive. “Now he’s calling from the other side, and Panthar will do anything to bring him home,” the official logline reads. “But someone or something else is listening.”
Episode one premiered on Sunday 1 November on the Beast Animations YouTube channel, and the MrBeast Lab episode schedule now runs weekly on Sundays through November — episode two lands on Sunday 8 November. The release pattern shifts for the finale: episode seven arrives on Saturday 12 December, with the eighth and final episode of the season following on Sunday 13 December.
That weekly rhythm gives the series a classic appointment-viewing feel, unusual for YouTube-first animation — and a reason for the Pakistani fanbase driving the trailer up the trending chart to keep coming back.

MrBeast has not cut corners on the creative team. The new run of episodes is overseen by showrunners Ben Bjelajac and Michael Cruz, and the writing staff includes writers from South Park and Bob’s Burgers — two of the most respected names in animation — alongside two brand-new characters joining the cast.
Animation is handled by Studio Moshi, while the MrBeast Lab animated series is produced by Beast Industries in partnership with Moose Toys, the company behind the toy line that started it all. Mike Roberts, who directed the original run of shorts, returns as a consulting producer, keeping the new episodes visually consistent with the shorts that fans already watched tens of millions of times. You can read more about the production in Animation World Network’s report on the new episodes.
The South Park and Bob’s Burgers connection is a statement of intent: this is not a cheap toy commercial. MrBeast — whose main channel is the most-subscribed single creator channel on YouTube, with more than 520 million subscribers — is treating MrBeast Lab as a genuine animated franchise, with the kind of writing pedigree that signals long-term ambition.

The MrBeast Lab trailer’s appearance on YouTube’s Pakistan trending chart is no accident. MrBeast’s challenge videos and philanthropy stunts have a huge following among Pakistani viewers, and the MrBeast Lab shorts already proved the character-driven side of the brand travels well. As covered in Animation Magazine’s report on the series debut, the premiere marks MrBeast’s first full animated season.
With episode two arriving on Sunday 8 November, Pakistani fans do not have long to wait — and the weekly schedule means the series will stay in the conversation through December. New episodes premiere on the Beast Animations YouTube channel, where the official trailer is also available.
For a creator who built his empire on viral stunts, an animated series is a gamble — but with 55 million views on the test run, Hollywood-grade writers, and a trending trailer in Pakistan, the early signs suggest the Lab experiment is paying off.
