Filmed for the first time entirely in Las Vegas, the show's energy has been electric as the Season 17 Ninjas give everything they got. From retro obstacles making their return this season to a mix of both seasoned veterans and rookie Ninjas competing, Season 17 is jam-packed with action.

"True Ninja Warrior fans are really gonna appreciate how we went back to the basics..." Host Akbar Gbajabiamila told NBC Insider. "You're gonna see a lot of the iconic obstacles of the past make their return. And it's a really cool thing because some of these Ninjas who are competing, they have never competed on these obstacles 'cause they weren't even born!"

"These talented athletes were doing things they didn't even know they could do because that's what they had to do — because they were being pushed by another great athlete to their absolute limit," Matt Iseman told NBC Insider about what to expect from Season 17, particularly the bracket-style National Finals. "And I think that's when you see greatness emerge... It kind of feels like March Madness, where with any race, anything can happen. And we saw some upsets that you never would have predicted in a million years. And then we saw redemptions that just made your heart swell."
