MrBeast’s $1 million grocery-store challenge sequel is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026. Jimmy Donaldson announced the follow-up on September 28 under the title Eat Everything In A Grocery Store Win $1,000,000 and called it a “mini movie.”
The release continues the cliffhanger at the end of April’s Last To Leave Grocery Store, Wins $250,000. Four remaining contestants stopped competing against one another and accepted a new team objective: clear the store’s food inventory for a much larger prize.
When does MrBeast’s grocery-store sequel release?
MrBeast said the video would go live “this Saturday” in his September 28 announcement. On the 2026 calendar, that is October 3. An exact premiere time was not included in the announcement, so viewers should not assume a particular hour until the channel posts a countdown or scheduled watch page.
The announced title is Eat Everything In A Grocery Store Win $1,000,000. Benzinga reported the announcement on September 29 and noted that the promotional artwork shows a stocked store, produce barrels and a large shopping cart filled with cash.
How did the $1 million challenge begin?
The story began in MrBeast’s official April 18 video, Last To Leave Grocery Store, Wins $250,000. The production advertised locally and invited random shoppers into the store before offering them the chance to remain as contestants. MrBeast’s video description says those who stayed went through the production’s review process and had access to medical and mental-health support.
The original rule was simple: the last contestant to leave would win $250,000. But after 67 days, four people still remained. Instead of waiting for three more departures, Donaldson offered them a different deal.
What are the sequel’s rules?
The four finalists agreed to work as a team rather than continue eliminating one another. Their new target was to eat all the food in the grocery store for a total prize of $1 million.
That wording leaves important details unanswered before release. MrBeast has not publicly explained how the prize would be divided, which inventory counted toward completion, how spoiled or unsafe food would be handled, or whether any additional rule changes occurred during filming.
Reporting on the April video said the revised setup would include a restocked store, beds and showers, along with a nutritionist, personal trainer and gym. Those safeguards are relevant because an open-ended eating challenge creates different health and logistical demands from a last-person-standing competition.
Is this a new contest viewers can enter?
No public application has been announced for the October 3 video. The sequel follows the same finalists from the April production; it is not a newly opened million-dollar contest for viewers.
The original participants were recruited locally before the store challenge began. That is different from a public online competition with published eligibility rules. Any social-media account claiming to offer entry should therefore be treated cautiously unless it links back to MrBeast’s verified channel or an official rules page.
Did the contestants really stay for months?
The April video documented the contest through Day 67 before presenting the team challenge. The follow-up was then withheld for more than five months, which generated sustained speculation about how long the four remained inside.
However, the gap between uploads does not prove that filming lasted for the entire gap. Editing, post-production and release scheduling can all delay publication. Until the sequel is available, the final duration and the exact completion date remain unconfirmed.
Why did MrBeast call it a “mini movie”?
Donaldson did not define the phrase, but it suggests the follow-up will be framed as a self-contained, high-production story rather than a brief status update. The premise already has a built-in narrative: four strangers who survived more than two months in a last-to-leave contest must cooperate on a physically unusual objective.
The description also sets expectations for a resolution to the April cliffhanger. Viewers are waiting to learn whether the team succeeded, how long the attempt took and what happened to the promised $1 million.
