TASKMASTER REVEALS LINE-UP FOR 21st SERIES ON CHANNEL 4, FAMOUS FACES TAKING PART ANNOUNCED

Hot on the heels of Taskmaster’s annual celebration which saw five famous faces compete for glory in New Year Treat, it has been revealed which five brand-new stout-hearted contestants are set to grasp the opportunity to impress the mighty Taskmaster Greg Davies, under the vigilant observation of Little Alex Horne, in series 21 of the International Emmy nominated, and BAFTA and Rose D’Or winning show. 

The fearless five who have signed up to leave all dignity at the door and demonstrate their nerve, cunning, and dexterity are: Comedian, actor and writer Amy Gledhill; BAFTA and Emmy award winning writer, director, and broadcaster Armando Iannucci; Presenter, broadcaster and actress Joanna Page; Comedian and presenter Joel Dommett; and Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated writer, actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani.

Each of these competitors will step forward with a healthy mix of respect, fear and a keen desire to lay claim to Greg’s golden head, struck in what is potentially 24-carat gold, and become the next Taskmaster Champion.

This month will also see The Taskmaster Greg Davies and his loyal assistant Little Alex Horne bring a never-before-seen live version of Taskmaster to theatres across the east coast of America with Taskmaster Live On Stage. The most coveted prize in television (and the world), the golden head of the Taskmaster, is on the move and up for grabs this January 2026, bringing the hit show’s chaos to Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New York

Series 21 of Taskmaster will air on Channel 4 later this year.
