Taskmaster's nineteenth season introduces a cast of stand-up comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri, American actor Jason Mantzoukas, Horrible Histories star Mathew Baynton, podcaster Rosie Ramsey and panel comedian Stevie Martin.
The season takes a scientific theme and pre-recorded segments were filled in the Surrey estate of Painshill.
If you can't wait to watch the new season of the show, here's how to watch Taskmaster season 19 online or on TV.
How to watch Taskmaster season 19 in the US
There's no official broadcaster of Taskmaster in the US, but there are two easy ways to watch the series.
The first is a streaming service set up specially for the show called Taskmaster Supermax+, which has all past seasons. It's also set to get season 19's episodes weekly from Friday, May 2, though I'd recommend double checking just to be sure (as the library is available to view if you're not a paid subscriber).
A subscription to Supermax+ costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 for a year's pass.
Alternatively you might be able to watch Taskmaster season 19 for free on YouTube, as episodes also get added there (but with ads, which is why some choose to subscribe to Supermax+).
It's not yet known when Taskmaster season 19 will be added to YouTube, so it's only suitable for people who don't mind waiting.
