MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) has initiated a legal battle against Media Headquarters Film and Television Inc. (MHQ), a Toronto-based production company, seeking $5 million over issues related to the production of his Amazon Prime Video series, 'Beast Games.' The lawsuit was filed in Ontario's Superior Court of Justice after MrBeast's company allegedly relocated production from Ontario to Atlanta, Georgia, without MHQ's involvement. This decision led to MHQ refusing to collaborate again, prompting MrBeast's team to seek a new Canadian partner.

In response, MHQ has filed a counterclaim, requesting to retain the $5 million payment and an additional $10 million in damages for breach of contract and other claims. They argue that the abrupt cancellation of the project harmed their reputation and led to layoffs of crew members who had turned down other opportunities. This legal dispute is compounded by other lawsuits against MrBeast regarding contestant treatment and employment issues within his production company.
