Philadelphia is calling in a star-studded field of Ninjas

Casting calls have begun and some big names are heading to the course.

The last time American Ninja Warrior visited Philadelphia, the city and its Ninjas made history. For the first time, four women advanced to the City Finals. Also for the first time, the City Finals course had zero finishers.

So it makes sense that the show would return there for its epic tenth season. We’re a little less than a month away from the taping of the episode, which means it’s time for those casting calls!

Philadelphia is shaping up to have a field stacked with well-known competitors. Take a look at just a few of the Ninjas who’ll be running the course at the Richmond Power Plant on May 11 and 12.

Well, it’s Official! I am Extremely proud and very honored to finally announce that I have been invited back to @ninjawarrior Season 10! The number of applicants that apply for this once in a lifetime opportunity is mind blowing and being asked to return for my 4th straight season is something I will never take for granted and consider it such a blessing to be apart of ❤️ Season 9 was for you Grandma. And I know Season 10 will be because of you and all my family, friends, and love ones that are with me in spirit when I step on that platform. Can’t wait to see you all in my hometown of Philly in just a few weeks! The Phoenix will Fly Again! And this season we’re holding nothing back! It’s go time #FlyPhoenixFly #PhoenixForce #AmericanNinjaWarrior #ANW #ANW10 #NinjaWarrior #philadelphia #blessed

I just got the call for Season 10 of American Ninja Warrior!!! I'm so happy to say that I've been chosen for the 4th year in a row to compete in the Northeast Region. No matter how many times I get the call, having that 818 area code pop up on my phone will always give me butterflies in my stomach. I can't wait to step up my training and compete alongside my friends in Philadelphia May 11-12. Let's hit some buzzers!!! . . . . . . @nbc @ninjawarrior #ANW #ANW10 #ANWX #AmericanNinjaWarrior #Ninja #OCR #obstacles #training #fitness #parkour #speed #bodyweight #athlete #practice #play #workhardplayhard #trainhard #workout #intense #calisthenics #heelclick #heelclicklife #Philadelphia #gotthecall #818 #season10 #buzzer @honeystinger #hshive #honeystinger #stingorbeestung

Per usual, if you don’t see a name here, don’t worry about it. The casting calls take a few days to complete. If you’re hoping for a call, stay strong! There’s still time!

We can’t wait to see what Philly adds to season 10 of American Ninja Warrior!
