NBC cites American Ninja Warrior’s status as a “family show,” and the series has already been renewed for Season 12.
American Ninja Warrior will continue on NBC, but any ties with Drew Drechsel have been cut due to the criminal charges filed against him.
USA Today reports that ANW filmed a shorter-than-usual Season 12 back in July; NBC’s statement regarding Drechsel’s appearance “on future seasons” may mean edits to footage to remove him from Season 12.
