Primed for action in this "assault course of absurdity", we have Alan Davies (QI), Desiree Burch (Too Hot to Handle), Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen), Morgana Robinson (The Morgana Show) and Victoria Coren Mitchell (Only Connect).
The twelfth incarnation of the comedy gameshow is scheduled to air later this year on Channel 4, and will once again be overseen by Greg Davies and Alex Horne.

Back in December, Davies and Horne sat down with Digital Spy to reflect on Taskmaster's enduring popularity.
"I spoke to somebody yesterday in Mexico who watched it because they found it on YouTube, and they really wanted to get a Mexican version going," the latter said. "I mean, that's pretty surprising. Any time you hear of anyone having watched it, I'm surprised, but especially in another country."
Davies, who broke onto the scene as the merciless Mr Gilbert in The Inbetweeners, went on to reference #HomeTasking, which his co-star set up to encourage people to have a go at tasks during lockdown.

"We were on a Good Morning America-style show in some obscure part of the States," he recalled. "They were talking about the fact that a family got into the top 10 of #HomeTasking, so that was exciting."
Taskmaster airs on Channel 4. A new Champion of Champions miniseries will premiere in 2021.
