Australian Ninja Warrior will return on 10 in 2027, hosted by Robert Iwrin, Georgie Tunny and Beau Ryan.
WPP’s Motion Entertainment will support commercial and brand partnerships for the new season.
The new season features everyday Australians and elite athletes competing on the course, produced by Endemol Shine Australia for Network 10, based on the Japanese format SASUKE.
“We’re incredibly proud to have partnered in bringing this new era of Australian Ninja Warrior to life. From the outset, our focus was on helping meaningful partnership opportunities that would enhance the experience for audiences, brands and the network. It’s a powerful format with broad cultural appeal, and we’ve been thrilled to work alongside the teams at Network 10, Endemol Shine Australia and our brand partners to help unlock its full potential as it returns for a new generation of viewers,” said head of WPP Motion Entertainment AUNZ Lisa Squillace.
“Stepping into a role like Australian Ninja Warrior is such an incredible adventure. I have been a fan of this show for a long time. Not only are we watching the pinnacle of athleticism, but we also get to see how dedication, courage and hard work can create heroes on the course. We see passionate people discovering they’re capable of more than they ever imagined,” said Irwin.
“My co-hosts will have the full-time job of keeping me from attempting the course myself!”
“What I love most about Australian Ninja Warrior is that every competitor arrives with a story. It’s not just about conquering the course; it’s about determination, resilience, and the people who inspire us to keep showing up, no matter what the challenge. I’m thrilled to be part of sharing those moments with audiences across Australia,” said Tunny.
“I’ve always loved a bit of healthy competition, and having competed on Australian Ninja Warrior before, I know just how tough that course really is,” said Ryan.
“Watching these athletes tackling it is inspiring and terrifying and trust me, after seeing what they can do, I won’t be volunteering to have a crack myself! I’m pumped to be along for the ride and can’t wait for everyone at home to experience it with us.”
