Taskmaster season 16 release date confirmed by Channel 4
We now know when the brand new line-up will be given their first task.
A brand new season of Taskmaster was announced right after the last one came to an end; Mae Martin was crowned season 15's winner after completing a string of bizarre – and hilarious – challenges, and it won't be long before a new batch attempt the same.
In fact, Channel 4 has confirmed that Alex Horne and Greg Davies will return for season 16 on 21st September at 9pm, to be exact.
The pair will be inflicting their particular brand of torture on a fresh Taskmaster cast before one of them claims the coveted golden head trophy.
