After a long hiatus from Aussie screens, 10 is bringing back the sports entertainment gameshow, Gladiators, returning for a brand new iteration.
A new tribe of 21st-century superhumans will wrestle, rumble, and battle Aussie Contenders from all walks of life, in a test of speed, strength, stamina, agility and power.
Australian ironman, and son of Grant Kenny and Lisa Curry, Jett Kenny leads the new lineup of Gladiators, including The Bachelorette star Damien Rider.
The new cast is mainly unknown gym dwellers, but the whole cast is in significant physical condition, ready to take on the challenges of the arena.
In a brand-new gladiatorial arena, the Gladiator’s and Contenders’ skills will be tested as they take part in a series of new events, alongside classic challenges including Hang Tough, Duel, The Wall, Power Ball, Pyramid, and The Eliminator.
The new series will be hosted by Liz Ellis and Beau Ryan.
The main face most viewers will recognise on the new show is Jett Kenny, the man behind the Viking persona.
His mother, Lisa Curry is the winner of 15 gold, seven silver and eight bronze international medals for swimming and his father Grant holds the Australian record as the only Ironman to claim both the Junior and Open Australian Ironman crowns, which he set in 1980.
While Jett currently works as a model, he has appeared on Australian Ninja Warrior in 2018, Dancing with the Stars in 2019 and SAS Australia in 2021.
The new Gladiators set to appear include:
• Sandor Earl
• Jaymi Morris

• Kwame Duah
• Chanique Greyling
• Blessings Chilufya

• Alethea Boon
• Katelin van Zyl
