Check if this show is available on Amazon Prime Video. Free trial may be available.

NBC has renewed its long-running summer competition series American Ninja Warrior for an 18th season, with production set to begin this fall in Las Vegas.

Hosts Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Zuri Hall will all return to call the action as competitors take on the world’s most challenging obstacle course.

American Ninja Warrior remains one of the most-watched unscripted shows of the summer, reaching over 23 million total viewers across NBC and Peacock so far this season. It ranks among the top 5 summer entertainment shows in linear viewership.

Season 18 will continue the all-racing format introduced in Season 17’s National Finals, where athletes go head-to-head for a $250,000 grand prize. The upcoming season will also introduce a new supersized three-lane racecourse – a first for the franchise – where three ninjas will compete simultaneously in high-stakes, side-by-side showdowns.

Casting for Season 18 is currently open. Prospective competitors can apply at ANWcasting.com.
