With two seasons due each year, season 17 should hit our TVs in the first half of 2024.

Typically, new odd-numbered seasons start in March or April, so fans should watch out around then.

Taskmaster Season 17 Potential Cast, Anything Leaked?

As of now, the cast for season 17 remains a mystery. However, hosts Greg Davies and Alex Horne have shared some exciting options. Talking to the Daily Express, Horne mentioned his ongoing hope to have Jack Dee on the show, he often says, trying to convince Dee. He even directly asked Dee, urging him to join the fun.

However, in a recent Q&A video, Horne expresses his desire to see comedian Stephen Merchant in the lineup. While admitting Merchant's busy schedule, Horne is still hopeful, feeling that Merchant's participation isn't out of reach. Amidst these speculations, one thing's certain: Davies and Horne will be back to helm the show's latest adventures.
