Taskmaster Australia Season 5 Premiere Date on TVNZ 2 Debunked
“Season 5 of Taskmaster Australia premieres on TVNZ 2 on Wednesday, June 3, at 9.20pm, with each episode shown four weeks after the Australian broadcast.”
Summary
Season 5 of Taskmaster Australia began broadcasting in Australia on 7 May 2026, not on TVNZ 2 on 3 June 2026. There is no evidence that episodes are shown on TVNZ 2 four weeks after the Australian airing. The claim about a June 3 premiere on TVNZ 2 and a four‑week delay is inaccurate.

Unfortunately for Joel, this task did specify that a ball must be used, or perhaps he could have thrown a crew member’s water bottle like Jack did.
