Gladiators are back! Series 2 of the revived classic hits BBC One in January 2025. A star-studded special kicked things off on New Year’s Day, with the regular series following later in the month.
What’s New in the Arena?
This season promises fresh faces and fierce competition. Two new Gladiators join the lineup, ready to test the Contenders’ mettle. While their identities remain under wraps, expect explosive power and impressive agility. Returning Gladiator Nitro takes on a new role as “Secret Prankster,” adding an unpredictable element to the games. What mischief will Nitro unleash? We’ll have to wait and see!
Classic Challenges, Amplified
