The heroic pups of Adventure Bay are getting ready to race across Australia this winter! Nickelodeon, VStar Entertainment Group and TEG Life Like Touring are proud to announce an all-Australian cast for the 10th-anniversary tour of the iconic live show PAW Patrol Live!™“Race to the Rescue”.
Marking ten years of this spectacular Broadway-style show, the global stage sensation will take over major arenas across Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne for strictly limited seasons from Saturday 25 July – Sunday 23 August 2026. Family passes are flying faster than Skye can say “let’s take to the sky!” via pawpatrollive.com.au.
Taking the lead as Adventure Bay’s tech-savvy human leader, Ryder, is Green Room Award winner Nicholas Dugdale (TARZAN! The Stage Musical, hit Netflix series The InBESTigators). South East Queensland’s Trent Sinclair (Neighbours, PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” 2024 Tour) is stepping into the spotlight to tackle the dual roles of police pup Chase and the adventurous snowboarder Jake. A Queensland Conservatorium alumni originally from the Gold Coast, Trent is absolutely delighted to be performing for his home-state fans.
Experienced TV and stage actor Kristie Nguy (Scrublands, Miss Sultanah, MTC’s The Robot Dog) performs both Everest and Farmer Yumi. Hanna Harvey (Plied and Prejudice, feature film Saccharine) plays the beloved, green-clad recycling pup Rocky, while Zayneb Zerzouri (The Lord of the Rings – A Musical, PAW Patrol Live!) stars as the fun-loving, water-rescue dog Zuma.
Fan-favourite construction pup Rubble will be performed by Matthew Mitchell (PAW Patrol Live! Australia and Indonesia tours, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines), with Callum Smith (The Wedding Singer, Sister Act – The Musical) as Marshall and Captain Turbot and Jess Phillippi (PAW Patrol Live! Australia and UK tours) as Skye and Resident Choreographer. Gabrielle Ward (Mary Poppins, Gabby’s Dollhouse Live!) returns to the production as the female onstage Swing.
The production also showcases stellar Tasmanian talent, with Dean Schulz (Midnight – The Cinderella Musical, Gabby’s Dollhouse Live!) taking the reins as the show’s Resident Director and the male onstage Swing. Having spent vast periods of his life in Hobart, which he considers his “home away from home”, Schulz is uniquely placed to guide the cast as they launch the national tour right out of Hobart’s MyState Bank Arena.
Returning to the stage as the hilariously scheming Mayor Humdinger is seasoned mainstage artist Stephen Valeri (Chicago the Musical, Grease – The Arena Experience, Peppa Pig Live!), who previously played the role to critical acclaim across Australia, the UK, and Asia. He stars alongside Vanessa Menjivar (Daniela – In the Heights, PAW Patrol Live!), who returns as the kind-hearted and strong-willed Mayor Goodway. Menjivar balances her role with raising her two young daughters, Vida (4) and Luna (16 months), who are big fans of the show.
Ryder and the pups share lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as they make several heroic rescues on their race to the finish line. This year’s tour is proudly partnering with Assistance Dogs Australia, celebrating 30 years of training life-changing assistance dogs, with donation collections taking place during the tour.
Since its debut in 2016, PAW Patrol Live! shows have been seen by 7 million people in over 50 countries around the world. In the last 12 months, PAW Patrol has reached over 4.2 million viewers across 10 and 10 Streaming, and is currently the #1 kids’ series on Nickelodeon, 10 Streaming and Paramount+.

RYAN GARCIA SET TO DEFEND WORLD TITLE AGAINST CONOR BENN IN PARAMOUNT+ GLOBAL BOUT AT T-MOBILE ARENA ON SEPTEMBER 12 OVER MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND
The Biggest Welterweight Fight of 2026 From Zuffa Boxing and Ring Magazine Will be First-of-its-Kind on Paramount+
July 15, 2026 – Paramount+ and Zuffa Boxing announced today that Ryan Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) will put his welterweight world title on the line against England's Conor Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) on September 12 over Mexican Independence Day Weekend, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The entire Garcia vs. Benn card will stream exclusively on Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers worldwide (excluding UK & Ireland.)
“This is such a great fight,” said UFC President and CEO Dana White. “Conor Benn has won 26 of his 27 professional fights and is coming off a big win in the U.K. earlier this year. Ryan Garcia is one of the biggest stars in boxing and a world champion. These guys are in their prime, and it’s a fight they’ve both wanted for a long time. They’ll come face-to-face for the first time today before stepping into the ring on September 12 during Mexican Independence Day weekend at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The energy in that place will be incredible.”
"For decades, Mexican Independence Day weekend has served as the main stage for some of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in the sport. Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn will author the next chapter in this tradition and we are thrilled to bring this premium live event to audiences around the globe," said Efrain Miron, EVP, Head of Content Strategy and Licensing, Direct-to-Consumer at Paramount.
Garcia headlines boxing's premier Mexican Independence Day weekend event for the first time in his career, returning to T-Mobile Arena where he captured the title over Mario Barrios in February.
Benn enters his toughest test yet — challenging for his first world title off a decisive win over two-time world champion Regis Prograis in his Zuffa Boxing debut.
Garcia and Benn face off this evening ahead of ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC 329 in Las Vegas.
Additional event details to be announced in the coming weeks.

This new chapter, taking place entirely in the vibrant, and lush landscape of Thailand, features a mix of legendary veterans and fearless newcomers for the franchise’s most intense game yet. Each test will push the 24 fierce titans past their breaking points in a ruthless battle for a share of the $500,000 grand prize. In this bold new era, the Challengers will be divided into three teams and the only way to take home a share of the cash prize, is to cross the finish line together as a unit. To win, nominated captains must balance their hunger for dominance with the need for loyalty, or risk losing their power while solo players must prove they can be team players or lose their chance at the winnings.
Meet the Challengers:
Brad Fiorenza, @bradfiorenza – OG Vet Brad’s only Challenge Championship comes from the original Cutthroat and now he’s looking to leverage that experience and lead his team to victory, again.
Cedric Hodges, @officiallyced – Big Brother alum Cedric had a breakout freshman season; evading almost every elimination until the Final, where he took home the bronze. This time, Cedric expects a perfect run all the way to a Challenge championship.
Chris “CT” Tamburello, @_famous4nothing – Five-time Challenge champion CT has stolen the hearts of America for more than twenty seasons, but he’s looking to erase his poor performance on Vets & New Threats and remind everyone why he’s one of the most feared Challengers.
Chris Underwood, @chris.under.wood – Winner of both Survivor: Edge of Extinction and The Challenge: USA 2, Chris anticipates continuing his undefeated winning streak, but this time, with less elimination appearances.
Cory Wharton, @corywharton_ig – Known for being one of the best to never win, a girl dad and Teen Mom cast member Cory Wharton returns for his 12th season, striving to finally add Challenge Champion to his resume.
John “Johnny Bananas” DeVenanzio, @johnnybananas – Self proclaimed GOAT, Johnny Bananas, hasn’t taken home a championship since Total Madness and after an early exit from Vets & New Threats, he’s looking to defy the odds end his slump, and bring home an illustrious eighth victory.
Josh Goldstein, @_josh.goldy_ – Love Island alum Josh is excited to get his hands dirty on his freshman season, and prove he’s more than just a pretty face and that his leadership skills make him a serious competitor… and, still, a great catch.
Justin Hinsley, @jushinsley_ – After proving everyone wrong in the first elimination of Vets & New Threats, but falling just short before the Final, Justin’s coming in hot for his sophomore season with his eyes on the prize… and a bit of revenge.
Keanu Soto, @keanureysoto – Keanu had his back up against the wall on Big Brother 27, narrowly missing out on a victory but with strategy and athleticism, won the hearts of America with a personality as big as his biceps. He is looking to channel what he learned about his social game into a successful Challenge run.
Leonardo “Leo” Dionicio, @leonardo_dionicio – Leo caused a ruckus in the house on Vets & New Threats with his cunning strategy and expects to use that same tactic, along with his Love Island charm to add champ to his name.
Nelson Thomas, @_nelsonthomas – After a devastating car accident that changed the trajectory of his life, Nelson makes his long-awaited return to The Challenge ready to prove he is still a fierce competitor, hoping for his first win, and, more importantly, hoping to inspire other amputees out there.
Will Gagnon, @itsjustwilltoday – Will proved to everyone he’s one to watch out for with his brute strength and emotional outbursts on Vets & New Threats but the stake-a-claim twist tanked his almost near perfect run, something he plans to erase from the records and replace with a Challenge championship.
Adrienne Naylor, @adriennenaylor – Adrienne was sent into four eliminations on Vets & New Threats, escaping them all victorious, but had to bow out in the middle of the Final early, taking fourth place. This season, there’s no quit in her – and her drive to win is stronger than ever.
Alexis “Lete” Lete, @lexlete – A former WWE NXT performer and Miss Indiana USA 2020, Lete makes her Challenge debut and hopes to change her title of Runner-Up on Deal or No Deal Island, to Challenge Champion.
Anna Leigh Wilson, @thebucketlistvagabond – Known for being the uber-competitive half of the daughter/dad duo on The Amazing Race 35, Anna Leigh comes in solo for her freshman season and anticipates using her Challenge knowledge to dominate the game.
Cara Maria Sorbello, @misscaramaria – Two-time Challenge Champ Cara Maria returns, after stepping away from the game last season to be with her mother, in hopes of adding a historic third Championship to her resume; something few women in the game have done.
Cassidy Clark, @cahleesi – The runner-up of Survivor 43 saw The Elimination Arena four times on The Challenge USA 2, losing out on the chance to make it all the way just before the Final. Cassidy has put that loss in the rear view and is laser focused on a title win this time around.
Deb Chubb, @debchubb – A fan favorite from Love Island USA Season 4, Deb was beloved for her humor, authenticity, and infectious personality and plans to use those traits to lull her competition into underestimating her abilities all the way to a win.
Isabella “Izzy” Fairthorne, @izfairr – The Too Hot to Handle alum quickly found love and elimination on her debut in Vets & New Threats. She returns to The Challenge house hungry for a win, but her plate may, once again, be too full of boys and drama.
Michele Fitzgerald, @mich_fitz – Michele has been was so close to achieving, what few Survivor alum have done, win a Challenge Championship, after dropping from first to third due to karma points on Battle of the Eras. This season she refuses to let the same thing happen twice and leave her fate up to others.
Nurys Mateo, @nuryskmateo – Breakout Battle for a New Champion runner-up Nurys is looking to bring a different energy into this season. Now that she is single, she can focus on playing the game, not her relationship drama, plus she has her Ride or Die bestie Nelson to have her back.
Reilly Smedley, @reillysmedley – After winning the first Head of Household on Big Brother 25, Reilly’s seat at the top was quickly toppled, getting her sent packing second from the house. She’s hoping her first time in the Challenge house will be much longer and more successful.
Sydney Segal, @queensydney – Survivor alum, Sydney made her Challenge debut on Vets & New Threats, narrowly missing out on victory in the home stretch of the Final. The brash runner-up and Rookie of the Year has no problem reminding everyone she is the best – period.
Victoria “Tori” Deal, @tori_deal – Despite making it to the Final on Battle of the Eras, Tori took fourth and left empty handed, but the Ride or Dies champ has put in the work during her time away and shows up ready to take home the whole bag.
