A Return To Competition, If There Ever Really Was One

This particular series feels like they've been keeping things a lot more under wraps, as there's usually a much grander rollout by now with solo interviews to get people acquainted with all of the contestants. That hasn't happened yet, and it is a bit of an oddity when it comes to promoting the season. Maybe they're waiting until the last possible moment to truly give people a better idea of who is competing this year (or making a bunch of nonsense for the sake of comedic fun), but unless they start showing more than what's in the trailer above, this may be one of the more secretive seasons to date. Those outside the UK can watch the series on YouTube the following day.

What You Need to Know About "Taskmaster" Season 22…

The quintet of comics who have willingly submitted themselves to the toughest physical and mental examination on television are: critically-acclaimed comedian and Edinburgh Fringe favorite Chloe Petts (Have I Got News For You, BBC One); award-winning comedian, writer, songwriter and actor Isy Suttie (Peep Show, C4); BAFTA winning actor, author, comedian, presenter, Matt Lucas (Gladiator II); actor, comedian, and ventriloquist Nina Conti (director of comedy feature Sunlight); and multi-award-winning comedian, actor, writer and director Richard Ayoade (Photographer at wedding in The Life & Death of Peter Sellers). Like so many before them, they all believe they can impress the Taskmaster, but only one can take home the glory.
