Taskmaster Season 20 trailer

Don’t miss Taskmaster Season 20 streaming in Australia on Foxtel, Foxtel Now, and BINGE. Check out the trailer below.

What is the premise of Taskmaster?

Following Taskmaster Season 19, which featured comedians Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey and Stevie Martin, the smash-hit panel game show returns for a brand new instalment.

Of course, Taskmaster Greg Davies is back as the titular headliner. Alongside his loyal sidekick, Little Alex Horne, they’re set out to discover the new champion by testing the contestants’ skills and ingenuity. 

Interestingly, they achieve this by coming up with the most outrageous tasks, which include long-distance painting, making the best extension to the Taskmaster house, making a music video for a nursery rhyme – the list indulgently goes on!

Apparently, the game series doesn’t run out of the funniest and most ruthless ideas for Britain’s various line-up of comedians to pull off.

For its twentieth season, contestants featured in the show are: Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith, and Sanjeev Bhaskar Obe.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne remain as the show’s presenters. Horne is also the series creator and executive producer alongside Richard Allen-Turner, James Taylor, and Andy Devonshire (also the series director). The show’s theme music was also written and performed by The Horne Section, a jazz band led by Horne himself. 

Throughout the years, the series has featured mainly comedians to perform tasks and games, including James Acaster, John Kearns, and Mo Farah, just to name a few.

A huge fan of the outrageously fun show? Fortunately, the new episodes from Taskmaster Season 20 arrive on streaming TV this week.
