American Ninja Warrior’s first half of the Semi-Finals introduced us to the extended course and how tough it’s going to be for our favorite Ninjas to advance. The Corkscrew (season 11’s Obstacle Design Challenge winner) is a devastating new obstacle that sends the Ninjas for a twirling plummet right before The Dungeon. The Dungeon is another new obstacle designed to exhaust anything the Ninjas have left in their grip.
Night two of the Semi-Finals will air on a new day and time, Wednesday, October 21, at 9pm EST/PST. The second half of the field of Ninjas will try to make it into the top 12 and clear a path to the Finals. But it’s not going to be easy.
The preview pictures below tease the incredible group that will return! Like usual, we did not include any photos of who makes it to the second half of the course.
