Chaos, Comedy And Competition: Meet The Cast Of Taskmaster NZ Season 6

Bree Tomasel – Pax Assadi – Jackie van Beek – Jack Ansett – Alice Snedden: Five fresh faces are stepping up to the plate – or, more accurately, into the chaos – as Taskmaster NZ returns for its sixth season this August on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+.

This year’s fearless cast includes ZM Drive Host Bree Tomasel, bringing her signature wit and wild energy to the mix; acclaimed comedian, actor and writer Pax Assadi; the sharply funny Jackie van Beek; rising comedy force Jack Ansett; and the razor-sharp writer, comedian and TV powerhouse Alice Snedden.

Across 10 brand-new episodes, this eclectic crew will surrender their dignity and sanity to the mighty Taskmaster, Jeremy Wells, and his ever-loyal assistant Paul Williams – all in the name of victory, glory, and points that may or may not make sense.

Expect the unexpected, as tasks range from the seemingly simple to the absurdly complex – whether improving the National Anthem, breaking up with an egg on a rollercoaster, or finding a cake and eating it too. Points will be won, pride will be lost, and hilarity is guaranteed. But who will take home the coveted Taskmaster trophy?

Taskmaster NZ will premiere on Monday 18 August, 7.30pm on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+ and continue on Tuesday for a double dose of chaos each week.

Notes:

TVNZ+ is the home of Taskmaster with Taskmaster NZ, Taskmaster, Taskmaster Australia, Junior Taskmaster, Taskmaster: Champion of Champions, Taskmasterclass, and New Year Treat, all available to stream.

Taskmaster NZ is co-produced by Kevin & Co and Avalon with support from NZ On Air.

BAFTA and Rose d’Or winning and International Emmy nominated format, hosted by critically-acclaimed comic Greg Davies as The Taskmaster, was created by British comedian Alex Horne, who also stars as the Taskmaster’s Assistant, and originally produced by Avalon (Breeders, Starstruck, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, Catastrophe).
