Draft:Gladiators (2024 British TV series) series 2

The second series of Gladiators is set to premiere in the UK in Early 2025 on BBC One, with the series being recorded in August of 2024, mostly during the school holidays, at the Sheffield Arena.

The series was commissioned by the BBC bosses after an successful relaunch in 2024, which attracted nearly 10 million viewers during its whole first series.

The series is going to be presented by the Walshes (Bradley and Barney), who also presented the first series. In addition of regular episodes, the series will also have a celebrity special episode, according to the BBC.

Gladiators
All of the Gladiators from the previous series are returning this series, with Diamond (Livi Sheldon) and Giant (Jamie Christian-Johal) being amongst the very first announced returnees.

Events
The series sees the return of some more classical events from the 1990's and the noughties eras, and reworking on already existing events, like the Gauntlet, which is being made more difficult for the contenders. Particular fan-favourite events like Atlaspheres, Pendulum and/or Swingshot/Rocketball are the most likely to come back according to BBC boss Dan Balwdin.
