Investing.com -- The second season of "Killer Whales," the first Web3 business reality TV show, is set to premiere on March 6, 2025, on X and Hello TV, with a subsequent global release on major streaming services including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) TV, and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Play in April.

The show, which produced by HELLO Labs, CoinMarketCap and AltCoinDaily, is expected to reach over 600 million viewers across 65 countries.

The new season promises higher stakes and features a panel of influential Web3 key opinion leaders (KOLs) as judges.

These "Whales" will assess entrepreneurs competing for a prize pool that includes a $1.5 million incubation fund, mentorship, and a $100,000 accelerator package from CoinMarketCap for projects that secure enough favorable votes, HELLO Labs said in a press release.

Contestants on "Killer Whales" vie for more than just financial backing; they gain access to a network of industry leaders, strategic partnerships, and a year-long marketing collaboration with the show's stakeholders.

The second season will feature renowned figures from the Web3 sphere, including Mario Nawfal, Anthony Scaramucci, and Yevheniia Broshevan, among others, with Thread Guy as the host.

The first season of the show saw a number of projects achieve significant growth, with 15% being acquired or raising substantial funding. Season one of "Killer Whales" garnered an 8.5 rating on IMDb, a 'Certified Fresh' badge on Rotten Tomatoes, and was streamed to a vast global audience.

As the show gears up for its second season, it continues to partner with leading industry entities such as Hacken, Bitget, and Market Across to support contestants with mentorship and exposure.
