\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Taskmaster<\/em>\u2019s international rollout is continuing apace, with a local version greenlit by Polish broadcaster TVN. Warner Bros. Discovery-owned TVN\u2019s version of the hit comedy-entertainment format will be produced by Avalon and Constantin. The news comes as several new international Taskmaster<\/em> series have just launched, with more to come through 2026.<\/p>\n \n\tThe format has an all-powerful \u2018Taskmaster\u2019 who, with the help of a loyal assistant, tests the wiles of a panel of comedians over the course of each series by setting them weird and wonderful challenges.<\/p>\n \n\tAlex Horne created the show and is a host on the long-running UK version alongside comedian Greg Davies. \u201cI think this has got a bit out of control, to be honest,\u201d he said as news of the latest international \u00a0deal dropped. \u201cBut I am still thrilled that the people of Poland are finally going to see their top comedians casting dignity to one side as they strive to impress the Polish version of Greg Davies.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThere is wind in the Taskmaster<\/em> sails internationally. The Poland news comes after Swedish commercial network TV4 greenlit two more seasons, with Avalon and Fremantle producing what will be their fourteenth and fifteenth seasons of the show. WBD in Norway has also renewed its deal and is making more Taskmaster<\/em> locally, with Nordisk producing alongside Avalon. The Norwegian version won the local TV Academy Award (Gullruten) for Best Comedy Show in 2024.<\/p>\n \n\tIceland and Estonia launched their own takes on the format last month on Syn and TV3 respectively. Elsewhere, a Dutch Taskmaster<\/em> will bow on RTL later this year. The TVN deal will take the total number of countries that have their own version to fourteen.<\/p>\n \n\tAvalon sells the show around the world as well as producing it. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be partnering with TVN and Constantin to bring Taskmaster<\/em> to Poland,\u201d said Paula Warwick, Head of Distribution at Avalon. \u201cThe strength of the format and its ability to deliver guaranteed comedy have driven its dedicated global following, and we can\u2019t wait to bring it to Polish audiences. With more territories coming on board this year, its global expansion shows no signs of slowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
