James Patterson and MrBeast are teaming up for a new thriller novel that has ignited an eight-figure bidding war for its rights.

Tentatively titled 'The Most Dangerous Game', the final title is still under consideration as other options are being evaluated.

The book's logline presents a gripping scenario where players must survive deadly challenges in perilous global locations to become 'The One'.

This novel, which draws elements reminiscent of the popular series 'Squid Game', is currently being pitched to publishers by UTA and is already attracting significant interest.

MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, recently achieved success with his Prime Video series 'Beast Games', which became the platform's most-watched unscripted show shortly after its release.

With 378 million subscribers, MrBeast is the most-subscribed creator on YouTube and has successfully ventured into various business projects.

James Patterson, the highest-grossing author in the book industry, is renowned for his successful Alex Cross series and has seen many of his works adapted into films and television.

Patterson has a history of collaborating with notable figures such as Michael Crichton and Dolly Parton, and he has received prestigious accolades including the National Humanities Medal and nine Emmy Awards.

In addition to the thriller novel, the collaboration with MrBeast also includes a nonfiction book, expanding the scope of their partnership.
