An offspring of the award-winning Taskmaster featuring contestants aged 9 to 11. Rose Matafeo hands out the points with Mike Wozniak as the assistant.

Taking on a fiendishly baffling series of tasks are 25 contestants, who show up ready and willing to give their all in the name of entertainment.

Matafeo passes judgement as they complete the typically idiosyncratic challenges in the Junior Taskmaster house, which is equipped with a shed, a caravan, a laboratory, alongside a dazzle of zebras, a sandcastle pedestal and revolving top hat spinning wheel. With tasks that are designed to encourage and inspire wile, wit, creativity, and athleticism, Wozniak is in his element enthusiastically overseeing each and every task.

The 25 young heroes compete across five heats and two semi-finals before the top five players 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 Taskmaster's magnificent golden head.
