Contenders ready! Gladiators ready!

Gladiators is making a comeback, three decades after it first aired.

The BBC describe it as “one of the most exciting and energetic sports entertainment gameshows ever”.

The series will return to TV in its brand new home on the BBC.

Its previous incarnation aired on ITV1.

Gladiators will be back with a brand new generation of super-fit super-humans.

They’ll compete against a brave set of contenders in the ultimate test of speed and strength.

But this time it will air on BBC One, not on ITV1.

The production company are only just calling for applications.

So we know the series won’t land on BBC One until 2023.

The deadline for applicants is April 2023.
