Channel 4 has boarded six new seasons of the beloved format Taskmaster, with Greg Davies and Alex Horne returning for another three years.
The public-service broadcaster will also continue with Taskmaster’s New Year Treat and Taskmaster Champion of Champions.
All seasons continue to stream for free on Channel 4, with fans also able to watch the New Zealand, Australian, and Canadian versions of the show on Channel 4 and Channel 4’s YouTube channel in the U.K. The format has spawned 13 international versions.
The new commission also covers full episodes on Channel 4’s YouTube channel in the U.K. The series continues to be a ratings hit, while clips on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Snapchat reached 165 million global views in 2025. The official Taskmaster worldwide YouTube channel delivered 1.4 billion views in 2025.
Tom Beck, head of live events and commissioning editor, said: “Taskmaster is the most creative, funny and frankly ludicrous show on telly; I’m delighted to enable their silly brilliance for another three years.”
Horne, the show’s creator and host, commented: “I’m pleased and quite stressed that I’ve got to come up with a lot more tasks for a lot more comedians, but the thought of three more years in Greg’s deep embrace is soothing my little head.”
Davies, The Taskmaster, added, “I am delighted the comedian meat grinder remains open for business. I look forward to gleefully keeping it fed with the help of a small, introverted man that I own.”
Jon Thoday, EP, said: “It is fantastic to be renewing our successful U.K. partnership with Channel 4. The brilliance of Alex, Greg, the production team, along with the excellent comedians, keep this show delighting and surprising viewers every series.”
