The BBC has released more details about the return of Saturday night favourite, Gladiators.
It has unveiled the new branding for the show, which will start filming over the Spring school holidays in Sheffield.
The 11-part series will be shot at the city’s Utilita Arena.
“Watching Gladiators live in the arena is the perfect day out for all the family,” stated Dan Baldwin, Managing Director Hungry Bear.
“Being close-up to the action is going to be an incredible experience like no other. Plus, we’re making the tickets free, so it won’t cost you a penny to get in!”
Hungry Bear Media is making the show with MGM Television UK and it will feature a “brand new generation of superhuman Gladiators.” The competitions will be familiar, including “fan-favourite, The Eliminator.”
The series was commissioned by Kate Phillips as BBC Director of Entertainment. The Executive Producers are Dan Baldwin and Lou Brown for Hungry Bear and Dom Bird for MGM Television.
The Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Saul Fearnley.
