NBC will keep American Ninja Warrior running (and jumping, and climbing) for another season.
The network has ordered an 18th season of the competition series that sees contestants working to conquer an intricate obstacle course. Hosts Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbajabiamila and Zuri Hall are all set to return. Production on season 18 is set to begin in the fall, with all rounds taking place in Las Vegas.
American Ninja Warrior will also add a new round to season 18, in which trios of contestants will take part in head-to-head-to-head races over of a three-lane course. It will also keep the bracket-style format of the current season’s final rounds (which start with Monday night’s episode), with one-on-one races deciding who moves on.
A. Smith & Co. Productions is behind American Ninja Warrior. The show’s executive producers are Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Anthony Storm, Brian Richardson and Kristen Stabile.
