Notably missing from the new Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus show are live animals: Elephants, tigers and other animals whose appearances in the circus drew ire from animal activists and audiences before the original show shuttered

If you've missed gawking at human cannonballs and unicycling clowns under a figurative big top while the smell of popcorn wafts through the air, you're in luck: The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus is being revived less than a decade after it shuttered.

The iconic traveling circus, which in 2017 halted performances after more than 140 years in operation due to dwindling ticket sales , will return in September 2023, production company Feld Entertainment announced Wednesday. The circus' famed title --"The Greatest Show on Earth" -- remains.
