The popular show Taskmaster has officially revealed its cast for Season 21. Viewers can expect to see five prominent personalities taking on unique challenges. This eclectic group includes stand-up comedian Amy Gledhill, acclaimed creator Armando Iannucci, actress Joanna Page from Gavin & Stacey, presenter Joel Dommett, and actor Kumail Nanjiani, recognized for his work in Silicon Valley and Eternals. They will all strive to impress Taskmaster Greg Davies in 2026, with assistance from Alex Horne.
Notable Achievements of the Cast
This season features an exciting milestone: two Oscar nominees are part of the cast. Armando Iannucci and Kumail Nanjiani each received Academy Award nominations. Iannucci was nominated for his screenplay in In the Loop, while Nanjiani earned recognition for The Big Sick. This highlights the caliber of entertainment that Season 21 is set to deliver.
Previous Season Highlights
The last season’s winner was Maisie Adam, who triumphed in a dramatic tiebreaker against Ania Magliano and Phil Ellis. This unprecedented event involved a three-way tie, showcasing the competitive spirit of the show. The upcoming season promises similar excitement as contestants aim for the coveted Taskmaster trophy.
Future of Taskmaster
Taskmaster’s journey doesn’t end with Season 21. Later this month, Davies and Horne will introduce a live version of Taskmaster to audiences on the east coast of America through Taskmaster Live On Stage. Although there has been no official renewal announcement from Channel 4, both Davies and fans anticipate the show will continue as long as it remains enjoyable.
When to Watch
Taskmaster Season 21 will air later this year on Channel 4 and will also be available on the official Taskmaster YouTube channel globally. Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for the upcoming episodes. It’s a perfect time to add Taskmaster to your watchlist and not miss out on this acclaimed series.
