Check the history of the taskmaster wiki page if you want to know the s17 lineup.

I honestly don't know any of them apart from one who I sort of know from the odd appearance on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

I just checked. Oh god, they've done a Bill and Ted and grabbed five contestants from throughout history!
In all seriousness, I honestly never believed they'd get Richard Pryor, John Candy, Buster Keaton, Rik Mayall and Peter Sellers...

The only other name I recognise is Steve Pemberton from Inside No. 9/League of Gentlemen. He’s not someone I'd have ever expected to be on TM so I’m really looking forward to seeing how he does.

Knowing nothing of them before Ted Lasso, I can only imagine the character of Nate The Great stumbling through it all.

Seriously can we not talk about next seasons cast while we are only 1 ep into the current one? The constant black bars are annoying and some arsehole is going to slip and post them non spoilered..

The reveal of the next cast at the end of the series is exciting and fun.

That said I looked and I'm pretty happy.

For whatever reason, Little Alex Horne & co decided that the lineups should remain secret until they do the reveal at the end of a season, and ask everyone at the recordings to keep stum. The community seem to have largely bought to it and 'don't reveal the cast' has become the accepted stance. The gatekeeping in places like r/taskmaster is strong.

I can kind of understand why during an ongoing season they might want to keep quiet about it since they probably would prefer the fans to be talking about what's going on with the show right now rather than seeing a lineup and then spending all their time talking about how good the next season is going to be.

I will categorically forget who the next people are before the announcement at the end of the current season. Given I hadn't heard of many of them, they might as well be called John Smith.

Should at least be interesting to see how they handle non-English characters for seating order. I'm loving with you. Maybe. It doesn't matter, you're not going to enjoy any of this an iota less. 'No Spoilers!' is a decades long advertising pavlovian response you've been conditioned to that ruins discussion threads.

I don't care about spoiling the next cast but I really don't enjoy the thread being about the next season while the current season is just beginning. I'm in excited for the next episode mode here.

Yeah, when people knew the current line up well before it was announced there was a "don't post it here, go find the info yourself and keep it to yourself" thing going on in this thread, so we could just focus on the current season and people who didn't want it spoiled wouldn't have to worry.

I need to find a way to work “It’s quite hard work for an aging homosexual” into my everyday life. I love this cast and I enjoy the old, queer vibes Julian emanates by his very existence. The cast in general seems pretty unhinged and I hope the season continues as it started.

EDIT: Also, is no one going to mention how Lucy said “We could use a saw :D” when she thought they didn’t have scissors?

Julian's voice is so soothing to me, it's like being told a bedtime story by the queen.

I'm guessing, because of anti-spoiler puritans suppressing discussion of known facts.

Anyone care to hazard a guess at where the hidden task issecreted? My money is either behind the portrait, or in the oven.
