This marks the 17th  series of the popular game show, which is hosted by comedians Greg Davies and Alex Horne.

Across ten episodes, the cast will take part in various challenges, set by series creator Horne. Located at the iconic Taskmaster house, each contestant will be ranked on their performance by Davies, using a point system ranging from one to five points.

The contestant who achieves the highest score wins a collection of prizes, and the player with the highest cumulative score at the end of the entire series wins a trophy, traditionally a bust of Davies.

Last year’s series champion was stand-up comedian Sam Campbell, who beat Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont, Sue Perkins and Susan Wokoma.

The new series of Taskmaster will premiere on March 28 at 9pm on Channel 4.

Last year, it was announced that a Taskmaster virtual reality game was in the works.
