TBS and Banijay Rights have agreed international sales rights for finished Ninja Warrior programmes. The October 9 deal adds distribution of existing shows to the format-licensing agreement signed in 2025.

TBS and Banijay Rights have agreed international sales rights for finished Ninja Warrior programmes. The October 9 deal adds distribution of existing shows to the format-licensing agreement signed in 2025. Banijay says local versions have returned in Israel and Australia since that earlier agreement. The franchise

joins its MIPCOM catalogue as TBS looks toward the thirtieth anniversary of SASUKE, the original Japanese programme, in 2027. The distinction matters for viewers: a format agreement allows local adaptations, while finished-programme rights concern distribution of programmes already produced. The new announcement

expands the sales arrangement but does not confirm a new channel, streaming destination or premiere date. Read the official source. Image: TBS / Banijay Rights; official Ninja Warrior promotional artwork.
