What’s This TV Show About?
An obstacle course competition series airing on the NBC television network, the American Ninja Warrior TV show is hosted by Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila with Zuri Hall reporting from the sidelines. In the 16th season, the ninjas make their way through the qualifying and semifinal rounds in Los Angeles before moving to the national finals in Las Vegas. Continuing with the major changes from last season, the semis will challenge the ninjas to race side-by-side and head-to-head across a high-stakes course with a spot in the national finals on the line. All four stages in Vegas return, including the Stage 4 rope climb for $1 Million.
Season 16 Ratings
The 16th season of American Ninja Warrior averaged a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.71 million viewers. Compared to season 15, that’s down by 16% in the demo and down by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how American Ninja Warrior stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
As of November 19, 2024, American Ninja Warrior has not been cancelled or renewed for a 17th season. Stay tuned for further updates.
