A localised version of Ninja Warrior, a programme format owned by Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, is set to appear on Britain’s ITV in spring, according to a press release issued 18 February.
Building on its success in its home market and popularity in the US, Sweden and Malaysia, the new British entertainment series promises to show the toughest assault course on UK TV.
Some 250 contestants from across the country will battle challenges testing strength, speed and courage in a bid to scale Mount Midoriyama and be crowned Ninja Warrior UK.
