“American Ninja Warrior” to premiere brand new season on AXN
More
thrills and heart-pounding moments are in store when the popular reality
competition series American Ninja Warrior
returns this May on AXN.
In
the latest season, competitors push their fighting forms to the limit as they take
on the world’s most challenging obstacle courses - including 28 new obstacles -
in the qualifying rounds held in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Oklahoma
City, and Philadelphia.
Retaining
the same format, all competitors must finish the course or be in the top 30 in
the qualifying stages to enter the city finals.
As in the past, the top
competitors advance to the national finals in Las Vegas, where the grueling Mt.
Midoriyama will be the final course of the competition.
This
season, a total of 500 competitors attempt to become only the second American Ninja Warrior champion, after 33-year-old
busboy-turned-professional rock climber Isaac Caldiero made history and was crowned
the first ever winner in Season 7, taking
home the $1 million grand prize.
Hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar
Gbaja-Biamila return for their seventh and fourth seasons,
respectively, alongside sideline reporter Kristine Leahy who
returns for her second season.
American
Ninja Warrior Season 8 premieres on May 15 and airs from Monday to Friday at 7:05pm.
AXN is available
on Cablelink Channel
38,
Cignal Channel 121, Destiny Cable Channel 49, Dream Satellite TV Channel 20, G
