I went and watched the first episode filming on Monday, it was a really good cast and episode. Season 3 looks promising. They will need to stop Josh from talking so much though. 
I didnât reveal the names on here because they asked us nicely not to, but I guess it was just a matter of time.
And was a revelation on an otherwise really poor season.
I went and saw Ep 5 and there was some banter from Josh related to a particular task that Iâm waiting to see if it makes the edit
Itâs taken them their sweet time to get Season 2 out the door⌠But I watched them film the first episode of Season 2 and the lineup just didnât really do it for me, except Aaron Chen. Youâd think theyâd have Season 2 airing now if they wanted to do 2 seasons per year like the U.K.
Iâm not convinced they want to show 2 seasons a year, and indeed it might be a bit much. If they were shorter seasons maybe but not 10 eps. Iâm not sure on their thinking of getting them in the can so early - could be due to cost or talent/crew availability (they film the tasks in NZ so maybe go back to back with their filming?) or could be just have something new in the can if some other show flops 
Welcome To Taskmaster Australia Season Two
Premieres Thursday, 23 May At 7.30pm On 10 And 10 Play
Strap in because have we got some fresh LOLs for you.
Thatâs right folks, TV Week Logie Award 2023 nominee, 2024 AACTA nominated and fan favourite comedy powerhouse - Taskmaster Australia returns for a brand-new season this May, bringing a new dose of outrageous, laugh-out-loud comedic hilarity to charm your Thursday nights.
Returning to their hosting thrones for season two, is tough-love Taskmaster Tom Gleeson, and his loyal sidekick âlesser Tomâ a.k.a. Tom Cashman, both ready to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of our five new comedians.
Stepping up to the Taskmaster challenge and competing for the golden version of Tom Gleesonâs delectable noggin, is comedy royalty Anne Edmonds, Jenny Tian, Josh Thomas, Lloyd Langford and Wil Anderson.
Each week viewers will witness these best and brightest comics go head-to-head in a string of ridiculous, rambunctious and bewildering tasks to bag the highest points, all for our amusement.
From building scarecrows, to catching hot chips and fielding a lesson with lemons, will they have the prowess to win over our supreme Taskmaster?
Youâll have to wait and see for yourself.
Adapted from the BAFTA-winning, hit UK format of the same name, Taskmaster Australia rewards innovation, berates stupidity and is guaranteed to master the laughs in 2024.
Taskmaster Australia is produced for Network 10 by Avalon / Kevin & Co.
Isnât that the comedian line-up for Season 3?
Wonder what has happened to Season 2âŚ
Tom Cashman has said on Instagram that the seasons have been flipped around and the other season will air straight after this season!
First promo for season 3 aired tonight during MasterChef Australia, focusing on Anne Edmonds and Lloyd Langford.
David Knox updated his article to say
TV Tonight understands the switcheroo is due to talent availability for promotion, with the remaining season to screen later this year.
Season 2 must be a dud.
Or Season 3 is stronger and Season 2 can follow on from it. Easier to market a big name like Wil and a couple Anne and Lloyd.
I know that on some forums, including the taskmaster subreddit, people who attended the filming for both seasons enjoyed themselves.
I think the stated reason of cast availability for publicity is the most likely reason - is anyone on the second cast unavailable for a few weeks?
Weâre in the thick of comedy show season at the moment, lots of international tours as well.
Maybe itâs the cynic in me, but I do find it hard to believe theyâve switch the seasons solely based on availability of people to promote it when you have a number of people who still would be.
I found it strange that they quickly went back into filming after season 2 finished filming as well.
Probably again down to availability of crew, talent and/or location https://www.hus.nz/
Ten were also obviously happy enough with the show to (pre)order more - or the producers figured they could sell it to someone regardless.
According to Aaron Ryan from TV Central chat with 10 programmer Daniel Monaghan, the third season (technically second filmed) will air from October this year.
Sounds like it wonât quite be literally back to back with the second season as first thought.
