On Monday, July 1 (8-10 p.m. ET), the summer favorite "American Ninja Warrior" returns to the NBC lineup with a two-hour special. The series, with hosts Matt Iseman and former NFL player Akbar Gbaja Biamila, will return to its regularly scheduled one-hour timeslot Monday, July 8 (8-9 p.m. ET). "American Ninja Warrior" also airs on NBCUniversal-owned Esquire Network.

The action-packed one-hour competition series follows contestants as they tackle the world's most difficult obstacle courses across the country. Those that successfully complete a course in each city move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face a stunning four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama in Japan.

"American Ninja Warrior" is executive-produced by A. Smith & Co. Productions' founders Arthur Smith and Kent Weed ("Hell's Kitchen," "I Survived a Japanese Game Show," "Pros vs. Joes") along with Lake Paradise Entertainment's Holly Wofford and Viki Cacciatore.

For those who didn't see my post in the "ANW5 in the media" thread:

tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/07/11/americas-got-talent-to-air-two-hour-season-finale-on-wednesday-september-18/191528/

“American Ninja Warrior” and “Siberia” will finish their respective current seasons on Monday, Sept. 16 with one-hour episodes.

Because "The Million Second Quiz" is scheduled to premiere on September 9 at 8 PM, ANW is scheduled to get bumped to 9pm starting September 9.
