Tim Miller has revealed how Mr. Beast got his "evil game master" role on Love, Death + Robots season 4 is quickly approaching, offering 10 new short films in its anthology series. One of these, titled "The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur," will feature prominent YouTuber Mr. Beast in the role of a villainous game show host. He runs a show for the rich on a space station orbiting Jupiter, where genetically-altered gladiators fight each other atop dinosaurs.

Speaking with ScreenRant, Miller, who created the show, explains how Mr. Beast wound up becoming their choice for an "evil game master" in Love, Death + Robots season 4. He explained that Mr. Beast is a fan of the series, saying his inclusion reminded him of his Prime Video game show, Beast Games. In addition, he hopes the inclusion of him in the series can draw a relatively younger audience, who can take interest in the dark stories the show provides. Check out what Miller had to say below:

He is a huge fan of the show, which I know because he told me, and [because] I went out and visited his place in North Carolina, which is super cool, out in the middle of nowhere. He's got posters of Love Death + Robots. He's a huge fan, a huge nerd, and so I knew that he wanted to be in a part of a story if we could find the right one.

So, what better than an evil game master who takes such delight in putting these poor, helpless people through all these trials? It felt just like a Beast Games episode. I don't know about you, but I watched that show and so many times I went, “Oh my God, that's so mean,” so I thought he would be perfect for that.

I also think on the show level, he's got this huge audience and this really devoted fan base, and if he can bring some of them to the show and we can widen the tent and indoctrinate some of a younger audience into the dark arts of animation, [that’s a] win for everybody.

What Miller's Statement Says About Mr. Beast's Love, Death + Robots Appearance

Season 4 Will Have A Number Of Celebrity Voices & Faces Involved

Mr. Beast is no stranger to hosting major events in real life, building his YouTube career around wild game show-like challenges that offer cash prizes for their contestants. This led to him getting a deal with Prime Video to produce the game show Beast Games, where contestants competed in various challenges to win massive amounts of money. Given this real-world counterpart to his role in Love, Death + Robots season 4, it makes sense as to why he was chosen for the villainous game master's role.

He's not the only recognizable celebrity who's going to be involved in the episodes of the anthology series. Other notable actors will include John Oliver, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Amy Sedaris, Chris Parnell, Kevin Hart, John Boyega, and Niecy Nash-Betts. Given how perfectly Miller believes Mr. Beast took up his role, it seems like the casting choices were made with the best actors in mind. While it's unclear if anything in season 4 will top Love, Death + Robots' best episodes, Mr. Beast's involvement indicates it will be memorable nonetheless.

A Fitting Narrative For The Real-World Game Show Host

With Mr. Beast himself having real-world experience as a game show host, he can channel his energy into Love, Death + Robots season 4 in a more sinister way. Since the premise involves some incredibly sci-fi events that unfold, there will be plenty of interesting ways he can lay the groundwork for the story. He's also likely to be involved in what happens as well, although the true extent of his role in the episode won't be revealed until they've been released.
