EXCLUSIVE: Channel 4 has handed Taskmaster an unprecedented six-season renewal and greenlit a junior version of the comedy panel show.
Demonstrating the network’s commitment to Avalon’s long-running format, the eight-part Junior Taskmaster will be aimed at older children and young teens. Kids aged nine to 11 will be recruited to bring their athleticism and creativity to the new show, which will reveal hosts soon.
Junior Taskmaster will air before the 9 p.m. GMT (2 p.m. PT) watershed and joins a roster of Channel 4 spin-offs for younger people including Junior Bake Off and First Dates. PG and family-friendly versions of Taskmaster already air on YouTube and amass big audiences, while a Taskmaster Education project and School Tasking not-for-profit are utilized by schools across the UK.
Avalon, the producer of the main show, is behind Junior Taskmaster. The Starstruck and Catastrophe producer is also in the midst of making a six-part scripted comedy series written by and starring Taskmaster creator and presenter Alex Horne.
“I’ve watched many, many comedians flounder when given simple instructions over the past few years and I fully expect the competitors in Junior Taskmaster to be both more competent and just as funny,” said Horne.
Channel 4 Head of Entertainment Phil Harris added: “After the success of our Taskmaster’s New Years’ Treat specials, to be able to extend the Taskmaster universe with Junior Taskmaster is incredibly exciting.”
Alongside Derry Girls and Gogglebox last year, the latest Taskmaster series ranked in Channel 4’s top three 9pm shows in terms of share with the coveted 16-34 year old demographic, according to Channel 4.
