Junior Taskmaster is the offspring of the BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning, Taskmaster, and taking to the thrones are Junior Taskmaster Rose Matafeo (Starstruck, BBC/HBO) and Assistant Mike Wozniak (Man Down, Channel 4).


Set to take on the fiendishly baffling series of tasks are twenty-five contestants aged between nine and eleven who show up, ready and willing to give their all in the name of entertainment. The Junior Taskmaster will pass judgement as they complete the typically idiosyncratic challenges in the new Junior Taskmaster house, equipped with a shed, a caravan, a laboratory, alongside a dazzle of zebras, sandcastle pedestal and revolving top hat spinning wheel. With tasks that are designed to encourage and inspire wile, wit, creativity, and athleticism, the Junior Assistant is in their element enthusiastically overseeing each and every task.


During the series, our twenty-five young heroes will compete across five heats and two semi-finals before the top five players will head through to the to the Grand Final, where they will hope to become the Junior Taskmaster Champion and, continuing the Taskmaster tradition, have the honour of taking home a trophy of the Junior Taskmaster’s magnificent golden head.
