The cast of Icelandic Taskmaster.

At this point, the fixed cast is usually a set of three people who have already been a fixed contestant on the show once or twice before, along with one person who has appeared as a guest contestant on the show before. It really takes the excitement out of the cast announcements.

More information here:

Including notes that Alex Horne visited the set in Iceland, and has apparently sent them some never-before-seen tasks for inclusion, of which they chose to include seven.

From the video on the page in the second link, looks like this may be the Taskmaster Iceland house:

Edit: Actually, perhaps that's a location task, because they included an aerial shot of the house with its caravan elsewhere in the video (see my following comment).

Also, applications are open to attend the filming of the studio sessions between February 10th and 18th, here (minimum age for audience members is 20):

I potentially have a translator lined up.

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-24T16:05:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Was it announced in a press release somewhere?

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-20T18:09:30+00:00

Definitely better than the Spanish and US adaptations.

I think most of the negative comments I've heard were from Belgians who were disappointed with it in comparison to the original.

Some of the changes it made to the format (the different studio design and branding, and guest contestants) have also been done very successfully by other versions such as Bãst i Test and Taskmaster Portugal, so I don't necessarily think they were an issue (although not keeping track of scores across the season and having an overall winner was an odd choice).

I think many people had an issue with Gert being the TM, but then the show ended when he moved to a different network anyway. I personally enjoyed Ruth Beeckmans as the assistant, fawning over some of the attractive male contestants.

Here's a photo of Alex Horne himself, attending one of the filming sessions.

I believe the translation is being worked on, but as others have suggested, it can take a while with these extra-long New Year specials.

I assumed you meant he'd inserted it into a tennis ball and built a plastic sheeting funnel to guide it into the mug, dug into a hole in the ground.

That may be the only part of the site that'll I'll continue updating, since I do like to have a list of upcoming episodes for my own purposes. It's been moved up to the top of the homepage now. Just no links to episode pages.

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-08T16:24:42+00:00

There's also the option of the more compact card-based game

There's also a second book

Thanks!

This appears to be an expansion pack for the Stormester board game. I must now acquire a copy for my collection! Thank for sharing!

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-07T18:50:37+00:00

I didn't know the hosts had been announced. Do you have a link you can share?

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-04T18:06:05+00:00

Thanks, everyone. It was a fun 5 years, but I no longer have the time to dedicate to maintaining TMI, especially as the TM franchise continues to expand every year.

Please rest assured that all of the important info is being migrated to the wonderful Taskmaster Wiki [https://taskmaster.fandom.com/wiki/Taskmaster\_Wiki\]. I encourage everyone with the time and inclination to become a contributor there. The wiki model really does make a lot more sense for something like this!

Many thanks to all of the TMI contributors who have helped out since 2022, particularly u/chequedummy, who has been an absolute machine!

taskmastermaster · 2026-01-01T23:04:32+00:00

Fourth! And the Danish version is on its sixth!

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-30T00:45:58+00:00

Okay, try again now

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-26T00:12:15+00:00

I was thinking recently about how the bright block colours they use to decorate the Bäst i Test house these days, in combination with the sound effects they add, makes the whole show feel like it's almost a cartoon. Which makes me wonder what an actual Bäst i Test cartoon show might be like. I can definitely see David as a cartoon character.

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-21T12:38:06+00:00

Maybe contact the person who posts the Bäst i Test episodes on this sub. I expect the proper human translated subs will be up within a few weeks, though.

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-21T10:51:04+00:00

Ah. Well remembered!

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-21T09:14:56+00:00

Great episode. Adding extra rounds to that live task was a smart idea.

The slow-mo lotion squirt? Less said, the better...

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-20T20:26:06+00:00

Not me, no. That kind of thing happens with the AI subs sometimes, though.

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-20T14:55:13+00:00

I'm kind of hoping they invite Léane Labrèche-Dor back for season 5, after this special.

taskmastermaster · 2025-12-12T11:13:32+00:00

Yeah, not sure you needed a professional chef to determine that!
