Australian Ninja Warrior is here. The adrenaline-charged new series will debut on Nine on Sunday, July 9 at 7.00pm. Australia’s newest and biggest entertainment format will air for 3 nights a week – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, for 3 weeks only.

Nine’s head of content production and development, Adrian Swift, speaks about the new format, why it’s been so popular overseas, the target audience and stories that the audience will see on Australian Ninja Warrior.

Australian Ninja Warrior will see 250 everyday mums and dads, doctors, tradies, athletes and Aussie celebrities Beau Ryan, Tim Robards and Adam Cooney, compete in the quest to claim the crown of Australia’s first Ninja Warrior. This diverse range of competitors will line up to take their shot at the most difficult obstacle course in the world, with Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham and Freddie Flintoff calling their every move on Ninja Island.

Ninja Warrior, a smash-hit, worldwide phenomenon that has aired for 31 seasons globally, will offer a gripping mix of heart-pounding action and inspiring back stories when these everyday heroes push themselves beyond their physical and emotional limits to claim the title. 

It’s an explosive start as Episode One features six character-building obstacles: The Quintuple Steps, Silk Slider, Bridge of Blades, Tyre Swing to Cargo Net, Double Tilt Ladder, and the infamous Warped Wall.
 
Australian Ninja Warrior is a not to be missed television event.
