By Jamie RubyNBC and G4 are teaming up again this summer to bring audiences the competition series
American Ninja Warrior. The series follows competitors as they face challenging obstacle courses in the qualifying rounds culminating with the finals in Las Vegas where they try their hand at the course modeled after Japan's Mount Midoriyama. If someone conquers Mount Midoriyama, they will with the title of "American Ninja Warrior" and the $500,000 grand prize. This has yet to happen, and has only happened for three contestants in the original Japanese series
Sasuke, which is in production for its 28th season.
The series is hosted by Matt Iseman once again, along with former NFL player Akbar Gbaja Biamila, and coshosted with ESPN's Jenn Brown.
The three recently talked to the digital media about the new season, which will premiere June 30th on G4 and July 1st on NBC, with original episodes airing on each network Sundays and Mondays, respectively.
