Taskmaster will be returning to our screens for a brand-new series on Channel 4 at the end of March 2023.

The fifteenth series of the show will once again see comedian Greg Davies and his adjudicator Alex Horne return to challenge the contestants with a number of absurd tasks.

These will require a level of lateral thinking to achieve the best solution in solving them, and more unique approaches can sometimes be awarded.

In total there will be 10 episodes with the five contestants aiming to win each episode and the overall leaderboard at the end to be crowned the champion.

Here's all you need to know ahead of the new series.
