GameRant is thrilled to unveil an exclusive preview from the initial episode of Taskmaster Season 20, offering a tantalizing glimpse before its broadcast debut on Channel 4 and YouTube, mere hours away.
For over a decade, the British comedy panel show known as “Taskmaster,” created by Alex Horne, has consistently produced two seasons annually. Following the conclusion of its 19th season in early July 2025, Channel 4 confirmed another installment for the September to November timeframe. The initial episode is set to debut later today at 1pm Pacific Time/4pm Eastern Time/9pm Greenwich Mean Time.
Taskmaster Teases Greg Davies and Alex Horne’s Banter in Season 20
As we draw closer to the September 11 release date, Channel 4 has given us a glimpse of what’s to come with a brief teaser of the upcoming episode. And here at Game Rant, we have the exclusive first look! The 40-second sneak peek captures the essence of Taskmaster, featuring the signature banter between Alex Horne and host Greg Davies.
The video clip additionally previews the participants in Season 20 of Taskmaster. Unlike Season 19, which featured its inaugural American participant, Jason Mantzoukas, Season 20 boasts an exclusively British cast: Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith, and Sanjeev Bhaskar. This lineup blends up-and-coming comedians with well-known figures from television. Reece Shearsmith is recognized for co-creating and starring in BBC’s Inside No. 9 and The League of Gentlemen, while Sanjeev Bhaskar is celebrated for his sketch show Goodness Gracious Me, sitcom The Kumars at No. 42, and ITV crime drama Unforgotten.

This change could further increase the program’s already significant online popularity, which currently boasts over 1.96 million YouTube subscribers as of September 11.
