comedy game show, Taskmaster, is set to return with its 16th series, and the wait won't be long. The show, hosted by Greg Davies and Alex Horne, will air its new episodes on September 21 at 9 pm on Channel 4.
In this fresh installment, a group of comedians will face the quirky challenges set by the Taskmaster, all vying for the coveted golden bust of Greg Davies' head. The line-up includes Susan Wokoma, known for her roles in Netflix's Enola Holmes and BBC One's Cheaters, along with former Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins. Joining them is TV veteran Julian Clary, as well as stand-up comedians Lucy Beaumont and Sam Campbell, who occasionally appear on Gogglebox and Sky's Bloods, respectively.
Channel 4 has teased fans with promises of bizarre tasks, like wrangling giant ducks and crafting new sausages. Viewers can also anticipate the weekly unveiling of the contestants' peculiar objects.
Adding to the excitement, Taskmaster fans can look forward to more content in the coming years. In March 2023, the show was renewed for an additional six series, extending its run for three more years. A new spin-off has also been announced, featuring a junior version hosted by Taskmaster alumni Rose Matafeo and Mike Wozniak.
