Taskmaster Australia returns for its fifth season with a new lineup of comedians tested by Taskmaster Tom Gleeson and his assistant Tom Cashman.

Featuring are Rove McManus, Celia Pacquola, Anisa Nandaula, Brett Blake and Joel Creasey.

These five comedians will be put to the ultimate test as they're faced with an array of tasks ranging from the seemingly simple to the mind-bendingly bonkers. And, we'll be there to laugh at them every step of the way. Er, we mean laugh with them!

In the end, only one can be the winner and hold the golden trophy of the Taskmaster's huge head above their own, basking in the glory of completing a series of meaningless tasks all for our enjoyment.

Tough-love Taskmaster Tom Gleeson is back, along with his loyal sidekick Tom Cashman, both ready to put our newest batch of comedians through their comedic paces.

Competing for Tom Gleeson's cranium in gold trophy form and stepping into his "house of fun", is none other than Dave Hughes, Emma Holland, Lisa McCune, Takashi Wakasugi and Tommy Little. But in Tom's house, it's Tom's rules… which means anything can happen. Will our new comedy legends play by the rules and be up to the task?

From epic winks, flying discs and puzzles with cumbersome costumes, our unforgiving Taskmaster has a whole new bag of random, ridiculous and rambunctious tricks up his sleeve to test the wits of our season three line-up.

Who will have what it takes to become our next Taskmaster Australia champion?

Returning to helm the show is the ever-formidable Tom Gleeson, reprising his role as the no-nonsense Taskmaster. He will once again be joined by his dependable assistant, Tom Cashman, as the pair oversee a fresh line-up of comedians who will face a series of bizarre and often perplexing tasks designed to challenge their wit and ingenuity.

The upcoming season boasts a roster of notable comedy talent eager to take on the Taskmaster's unpredictable challenges. The cast includes Peter Helliar, Mel Buttle, Aaron Chen, Concetta Caristo, and Rhys Nicholson, all of whom will put their reputations and quick thinking to the test in what promises to be one of the most entertaining seasons yet.

Creativity and speed are rewarded, while missteps and confusion lead to fewer points. Ultimately, the comedian with the highest score at the end of the series is crowned the Taskmaster Champion.

Returning to their hosting thrones for season two, is tough-love Taskmaster Tom Gleeson, and his loyal sidekick "lesser Tom" a.k.a. Tom Cashman, both ready to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of our five new comedians.

Stepping up to the Taskmaster challenge and competing for the golden version of Tom Gleeson's delectable noggin, is comedy royalty Anne Edmonds, Jenny Tian, Josh Thomas, Lloyd Langford and Wil Anderson.

Each week viewers will witness these best and brightest comics go head-to-head in a string of ridiculous, rambunctious and bewildering tasks to bag the highest points, all for our amusement.

From building scarecrows, to catching hot chips and fielding a lesson with lemons, will they have the prowess to win over our supreme Taskmaster?

You'll have to wait and see for yourself.

Introducing Tom Gleeson as the Taskmaster, and Tom Cashman as the Taskmasters assistant. Joining these two for the premiere season will be Julia Morris, Nina Oyama, Luke McGregor, Jimmy Rees and Danielle Walker.
