Prime Video revealed the following about the series:
“Today, Prime Video released the Season One premiere date and official key art for its reboot of the iconic physical competition format, American Gladiators.

Only one man and one woman will conquer the Arena, claim $100,000, and earn the title of American Gladiator Champion.
