Australian Ninja Warrior Returns to Sydney

Australian Ninja Warrior is making a spectacular comeback in 2027, and the action could be returning to where it all began – Sydney Harbour's iconic Cockatoo Island!

The adrenaline-pumping TV favourite is back with bigger challenges, a brand-new obstacle course and a fresh line-up of hosts, promising plenty of jaw-dropping moments, incredible athleticism and edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

A New Generation of Ninja Warriors

From gravity-defying leaps and towering obstacles to incredible displays of strength, speed and determination, Australian Ninja Warrior is gearing up to put a new generation of competitors through their paces.

The reboot will feature an exciting new hosting trio, with Robert Irwin, Georgie Tunny and Beau Ryan bringing their energy and enthusiasm to the action.

Whether you're cheering for the underdogs, holding your breath as competitors tackle impossible-looking obstacles or waiting for that triumphant buzzer moment, there's plenty to get excited about! And for those keen to actually be the next Australian Ninja Warrior, casting is officially underway.

Will Families Be Able to Watch the Action Live?

Cockatoo Island was the original home of Australian Ninja Warrior, making its possible return to the spectacular Sydney Harbour location particularly exciting.

For families with Ninja Warrior-obsessed kids, seeing the famous obstacle course and watching Australia's fittest competitors in action would be an unforgettable experience.

Details about public filming sessions, audience access and tickets have yet to be announced.
