Development
In early 2007, an episode of the TV series Where Are They Now? feature some original Gladiators as special guests. The Seven Network uses this segment as a research to revive the event depending on the number of viewers for the episode as well as if the ranking drops after the end of the segment.
On September 9, 2007, it was officially announced by Seven that the show was revived and will return for the fourth series in early 2008. Auditions for the new gladiator were conducted via e-mail and closed on October 16, 2007 while auditions for challengers took place in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth from October 20 to November 4, 2007. After the gladiators and challengers were selected, filming all episodes for the fourth season took place from 6 January 2008 to 10 February 2008 at The Dome, Sydney Showground, New South Wales.
Speculation around who will host the new series is proven, with many reports in the media about successful or unsuccessful celebrities auditioning. Seven Network presenter Tom Williams is reportedly the only male to audition, and is taken for a male co-host role soon. For the role of female co-host, the process is more intense, with many women auditioning, including swimmers Elka Graham and Brooke Hanson as well as actors Zoe Ventoura and Samantha Noble. On December 18, 2007, it was reported in the media that former actor McLeod's Daughters actor Zoe Naylor was being seriously considered as a female host, with an insider stating that "She looks fabulous on a screen test and there is a big thrill between he and Tom.He's fresh and fun. "He was eventually chosen for a female co-host position.
With the new Gladiator selected for the new series, it was reported on December 30, 2007 that former Australian footballer Anthony Koutoufides and Olympic Pole Tattooer Tatiana Grigorieva are two of the new gladiators for the new series, but Seven Network refused to confirm the option, even though these reports were true. Strongman Derek Boyer is the third celebrity to be picked up as a Gladiator, followed by former iron player Hayley Bateup being fourth. Ten other Gladiators have non-public background.
