Taskmaster New Zealand is back for its fourth season hosted by Jeremy Wells and his assistant Paul Williams.

Taskmaster (UK) also screens S16.

Season 4 sees our comedian panel of Bubbah, Dai Henwood, Karen O’Leary, Melanie Bracewell and Ray O’Leary attempt a series of tasks at the Taskmaster ranch that will test their mental fortitude, physical prowess, and how good they are at reading. This season sees tasks that include singing duets with themselves, finding bowls of glitter, and becoming British to name but a few.

The omniscient, omnipotent and omnivorous Taskmaster Greg Davies and his stunningly efficient assistant Alex Horne are back on their respective thrones in the award-winning sixteenth season of Taskmaster UK.

Ready to test the mettle of a brand-new set of comics sat before them on much smaller chairs, the quivering quintet who have willingly placed their careers in Greg’s soft hands are: Julian Clary, comedy actor, writer and stand-up Lucy Beaumont, presenter, writer and comedian Sue Perkins, and actor, writer and director Susan Wokoma.

The new season also features Australian multi-award winning stand-up Sam Campbell.

BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning and International Emmy nominated format, hosted by critically-acclaimed comic Greg Davies as The Taskmaster, was created by British comedian Alex Horne, who also stars as the Taskmaster’s Assistant, and originally produced by Avalon. Taskmaster New Zealand is being co-produced by Kevin & Co and Avalon with support from NZ On Air.

Taskmaster NZ: Wednesday September 13 on Binge / 8:30pm Sunday September 17 on FOX8
Taskmaster UK: Friday September 22 on Binge / 7:30pm on FOX8

  1. Fantastic! I especially have fallen in love with NZ taskmaster! And you can see how much more polite they are and how much more diverse and how easily and respectfully they treat their First Nations people unlike us.

    1. Having a Māori son in law I can attest to the fact that they are polite and do treat people regardless of their cultural background with dignity and respect… it’s their cultural upbringing and are extremely proud of it too….his family and relatives are some of the most chilled out easy going people I’ve ever met…they don’t get hung up on the indigenous aspect either they just accept people for who they are…I regard them as my family too.
