This was the only series of Gladiators in which there were no changes to the Gladiator line-up. As such there were no changes to the opening credits and, despite the series’ popularity, there were no new photoshoots for promotional materials, with the photography from the 1993 series reused for the programmes and merchandise. Hawk, Jazz, Ice and Nitro from American Gladiators were shown in the audience during the Grand Final and AG Host Mike Adamle co-hosted the "Celebrity Challenge" with John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson. Fashanu hosted the Fighting Forces special solo with some of the gladiators handling interviews on camera.
