Five public figures are challenged by “Taskmaster” Vasco Palmeirim and his assistant Nuno Markl to overcome a series of fun tests with a small dose of madness.
Taskmaster welcomes 2025 with an unprecedented show! Inês Aires Pereira, Cândido Costa, Madalena Abecassis, Gilmário Vemba and Toy accepted the challenge and will join Vasco Palmeirim and Nuno Markl for a show that promises to be epic and will happen, for the first time, in the whole world.
In this first episode of the show, the contestants must bring in the most embarrassing thing, fell all the ducks, extract a ping-pong ball from a tube, name birds while chewing on gummy candies, retrace a blindfolded walk as accurately as possible, score a basket without using their hands, make a weighing scale read out a particular weight, and guess the five syllable words being enunciated by the Taskmaster.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the best thing they have taken from someone else's home, find out about a Chinese person, eat as much watermelon as possible, unravel a roll of tape, paint a horse while riding a horse, create an impressive fountain, spectacularly deliver a task brief, and roll a toilet roll across the stage. The guest contestant is António Zambujo.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most boring thing, throw a teabag into a mug, score a goal from the greatest distance, draw their face on a visor, transport a coconut, fill a cup with tears, empty a bathtub, and throw some things (but not too far). The guest contestant is Rita Salema.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most spectacular battery-operated item, move water from one bucket to another, make a block of ice disappear, conceal grapes in their mouths or hands, try not to blink, make a body part abnormally long, reach a microwave in the fewest steps, and draw the second longest snake. The guest contestant is Pedro Torchas.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the scariest thing, put 50 different things in a bin, make a portrait from their 50 items, slow the descent of a wooden spoon, get dressed while wearing handcuffs, do something impressive in reverse, pass the largest thing through a doughnut, choreograph a dance to a ringtone, and inflate the largest balloon while blindfolded. The guest contestant is Manuel Marques.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most surprising photo of themselves, give Markl a special treat, throw something over a wall and into a bin, communicate images by tracing them on their team-mates' backs, invent a new handshake, make the highest splash, perform a quick-change, and identify the shortest breadsticks in their competitors' aprons. The guest contestant is Carla Andrino.
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most satisfying item, catapult a shoe into a bathtub, travel as far as possible while making a constant noise, lift a bunch of items into the air with one hand, camouflage themselves, blow out a candle from a distance, create and eat an exotic sandwich, and stack plates and bowls on their heads. The guest contestant is Jorge Mourato.
In this season finale, the contestants must bring in something life-changing, work out what Markl is wearing, sneeze the fastest, get into two sleeping bags, make a mess and then clean it up, draw a portrait of the Taskmaster across a flipchart, record some incredible PoV footage, and then slide drinks to the Taskmaster. The guest contestant is Inês Castel-Branco.
We begin the season with a bang with Isabela Valadeiro in a very weird, chaotic episode with a lot of water, paint, and water. Join us!
