Overview
- A union agreement announced Monday between IATSE and Beast Industry Studios converts Season 3 of the Prime Video series into a union production.
- The contract covers more than 500 crew members in Greenville, North Carolina, and includes back pay and benefits for pre-production work already completed.
- IATSE says the pact will apply to subsequent seasons, though the deal’s length is not specified and the show is only confirmed through Season 3.
- Season 2 was produced under union terms, while the third season began non-union, which prompted an organizing drive by IATSE locals in North Carolina.
- Labor leaders frame the outcome as momentum for organizing in newer sectors like YouTube-linked studios, and outlets said they had requested comment from MrBeast’s team.
