The hit comedy show is set to return for a fresh batch of episodes this evening (September 11). It will air weekly on Channel 4 in the UK once more, with one episode each Thursday night.

Taskmaster’s return comes just over two months after the previous season came to an end. Fans are truly being treated in 2025.

What time is Taskmaster on TV?

The show will be airing on Thursday nights on Channel 4 from today (September 11). It will have 10 episodes and is expected to run through to mid-November.

It is due to start at 9pm on Thursdays, including tonight, and the episodes will run for approximately an hour with adverts.

The preview for the first episode of series 20, via Radio Times, reads: “They'll be facing all manner of tasks, beginning with challenges involving codes, gym balls and disgusting noises, to test their daring, dexterity and dignity under pressure - and to also make them look just a little bit silly too.”

How to watch Taskmaster?

For those who live in the UK, Taskmaster will be broadcast by Channel 4. It will be on the terrestrial TV channel and its HD equivalent.

It will also be available to watch live and on demand via the broadcaster’s self-titled streaming platform (formerly All4/ 4oD). Previous seasons are also available to catch up on as well.

If you live outside Britain, episodes will be made available to watch on YouTube after they have been broadcast in its native country. However in a major change, series 20 episodes will be available an hour after they originally air in the UK - instead of a day later.

Who is in the cast of Taskmaster series 20?

The show will feature the following comedians and actors this time out: Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith and Sanjeev Bhaskar.

Greg Davies is back of course and will be joined once more by little Alex Horne. They will be setting the challenges and picking the winners.
