Beginning on June 18, American Ninja Warrior will move to Monday nights from 8-10PM ET/PT.
The two-time Emmy Award-nominated series will once again feature Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila as hosts, along with Kristine Leahy reprising her role as co-host.
American Ninja Warrior will continue to follow athletic competitors as they attempt to tackle a series of challenging obstacle courses in both city qualifying and city finals rounds across the country.
Those that successfully complete the finals course in their designated region will then move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, NV, where they must face a four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama in Japan. The winner will take home the $1 million grand prize.
In Season 7, the reality competition series will make stops in Dallas, Miami, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Minneapolis before heading to Las Vegas.
As for Running Wild with Bear Grylls, "Season 4 promises to be the most exciting yet, with some of the biggest stars of sports and entertainment joining Bear," according to the network.
Running Wild will air eight episodes starring celebrities who are setting out for a great life adventure.
The participating celebrities are tennis champion Roger Federer, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Game of Thrones star Lena Headey, actress Uzo Aduba, actress Keri Russell, actor Don Cheadle, actor and model Scott Eastwood, and World of Dance judge and former Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough.
In addition, NBC also announced America's Got Talent and World of Dance will be returning with new seasons this summer. Both shows will premiere back-to-back on Tuesday, May 29 starting at 8PM ET/PT.
