Then, something extraordinary and absurdly funny transpires: the deceased emits gas bubbles that propel it over water like a jet ski, enabling Hank to hitch a ride on the corpse across the ocean, escaping the island. This unexpected event leads to a bond between them, and further amusing bodily antics follow as they navigate their way homeward. Over time, the corpse learns to communicate and is named Manny.

On February 3, Marvel Studios released a short 20-second sneak peek. The clip primarily featured children running and laughing while staring at television screens. However, the full trailer provides a detailed glimpse of the main characters.

Interestingly, viewers seem to have differing opinions from critics about this program – the audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes for “Beast Games” stands at an impressive 89% positive. Moreover, if Amazon’s claimed viewership statistics are accurate (which is often questionable), it would position “Beast Games” as the most-watched unscripted show ever, with a global audience of 50 million viewers.
