Channel 4 recently commissioned a new series called Junior Taskmaster, essentially Taskmaster with regular kids as contestants.
The format and air date are currently unknown, but the Junior Taskmaster will be Rose Matafeo with Mike Wozniak as Junior Taskmaster's Assistant!
Here's what they each had to say...
Rose Matafeo: “To be appointed as Junior Taskmaster is one of the greatest honours of my already wildly successful career. I am greatly looking forward to the power going to my head”.

Mike Wozniak: “All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a Little Alex Horne (or a regional manager for a major provider of motorway service stations) so this is literally a dream come true. I hereby vow to do my utmost to hold the office of Junior Taskmaster’s Assistant in the spirit of the original Little Alex Horne: with his courage, his grit and his dignity”.

Fun Fact: Alex Horne recently said in a reddit AMA that he saw Mike Wozniak as his natural successor. Mike won the original Taskmaster Edinburgh Fringe show and helped come up with tasks as part of the Task Force.
I'm thrilled about this, I must say!
