In 2024, an emblematic sports series of the 90s made a triumphant return. The Gladiators of the BBC kissed the fanfare, the Lycra and the insane games such as Duel, Hang hard and the wall in all their glory. The result was the biggest television launch of the BBC in seven years.
The television duo father and son Bradley and Barney Walsh has assumed tasks, while elite athletes adopted Egos Alter and have become great opponents to competitors, and excellent entertainment for fans at home.
The last season has brought even more drama, with three new events, two new gladiators and a plot (extremely bizarre) “ romance '' between saber and Apollo.
With the last episode broadcast this Saturday, you might be sad to think about the end of the gladiators. The question is: the show comes back to find out more? We have gathered everything you need to know here.

The filming dates of the following series have not been confirmed, so we do not know when hearing tickets will still be published.
When could season 3 gladiators be released?
The BBC has not yet announced a release date for the 3 series of Gladiators, and probably will not do it for a while. However, we can take an enlightened assumption on the basis of the moment when the first two payments were broadcast.
The first series was broadcast on January 13, while the second made its debut on January 18 (not to mention the special celebrities of the New Year).
Assuming that the model remains the same, we expect the gladiators of season 3 to broadcast mid-January 2026. Like last year, it will probably be published just after season 4 of the Treatments, which should return to the beginning of the month.
If we hear something different, we will update this article.
What gladiators could come back for season 3?
We do not yet know with certainty if each gladiator of season 2 will be back. If they are, this is what programming would look like:

The king of the wall and the Sprinter Nitro (Harry Aikines-Ayetey) were forced to sit on series 2 due to a knee injury, but he has already said that he would be back in combat next season.
Will there be new gladiators and events in the 3 series?
The first depends on the quantity of distribution. Two new gladiators were added to the programming of this series, and the original show has often shaken the list of gladiators.
Regarding the events, we obtained three new additions in the 2 series: the exciting track course UNLEASH, the return of Atlaspheres and Crash Course, a modified race version of Atlaspheries.
Gladiators are still looking for fresh, so new events could be on the cards. We must know more close to the release date.
