A new group of contestants will place themselves at the mercy of Taskmaster Jeremy Wells and the scrutiny of stats, assistant Paul Williams when Taskmaster NZ returns to TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+.

Putting their comedic skills to the test in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud are: actor and comedian Sieni Leo’o Olo aka Bubbah, comedy veteran Dai Henwood, the hilarious accidental actor Karen O’Leary, all-round funnywoman Melanie Bracewell and the second O’Leary vying for the coveted golden bonce, comedian and writer Ray O’Leary (complete with his trademark razor-sharp wit and ill-fitting suit).

The highly anticipated fourth series will test the wiles, wit and wisdom of these hyper competitive comedians with an assortment of baffling and bizarre assignments that will see them getting married, leaving New Zealand and blowing out candles (could it be as simple as it sounds?).

With a vast collection of awards between them, who will walk away victorious in the most hard-fought and ridiculous show on TV and be crowned Taskmaster champion?
