AUSTRALIAN GLADIATORS RETURN!
Channel Seven today announced television phenomenon Gladiators will return to our screens in 2008.
Seven's Head of Program Development, Mr Brad Lyons, said the search begins this week across Australia for a new generation of Gladiators.
"We're extremely excited about re-launching this massive show which was such an audience favourite," Mr Lyons said.
"It will have a new look but will still retain the classic battles between Gladiator and Contender. We are currently on the hunt for a new bunch of Gladiators and those prepared to step into the arena to take them on."
Gladiators premiered on Seven in 1995 – and launched to massive ratings.
The show pitted everyday contestants in a variety of physical events against the 'Gladiators'. The likes of Predator, Commando, Vulcan, Storm, Glacier and Flame presented a spectacle of human endurance each week as they battled an inexhaustible procession of challenges such as Hang Tough, Pyramid, Powerball and Swingshot.
