Hollywood reporter James Hibberd reports:
NBC’s “American Gladiators.” Gladiators ready? No, gladiators are not ready. This competition-series revival enjoyed terrific ratings for its initial run during the WGA strike early this year. A second season launched in May and saw a sharp drop in viewers, with ratings fading throughout its summer run. Most consider reality shows cheap to produce, but this stunt-heavy arena competition is not. NBC has not mentioned “Gladiators” on the record, but it’s considered canceled.
Does this mean we may see Valerie Waugaman coming out of retirement and back to competing in the IFBB? We know for certain, Tanji Johnson aka “Stealth” will be competing at the Fitness International in March.
