Read on. Your time starts now.
As usual, there are five contestants in the series.
This time round they are:
Steve Pemberton, co-creator and co-star of Inside No. 9. He previously was a member of The League of Gentlemen.
Nick Mohammed, who played wunderkind Nate the Great in Ted Lasso. He is known for his character Mr. Swallow, which he has portrayed across both stage and television for over a decade.

The new series starts at 9pm on Thursday 28th March.
It will then air each Thursday at 9pm after that for the duration of the series.
There will be ten episodes in the series, at the end of which Greg will crown the new Taskmaster champion, based on who is top of the overall leaderboard at the end of the final studio task.
