Bizarre Tasks and Familiar Faces: New Season of 'Direktor Svemira' Kicks Off

RTL television is set to launch the second season of its popular comedy show, 'Direktor svemira' (Universe Director), promising another dose of hilarious and often bizarre challenges. The show, adapted from the internationally acclaimed British format 'Taskmaster,' will premiere on RTL on Wednesday at 8:15 PM, with episodes available 24 hours earlier on the Voyo platform.

Returning to lead the comedic chaos are hosts Ivan Šarić, in his role as the 'Universe Director,' and his assistant, actor Luka Petrušić. They will guide a new group of contestants through a series of unconventional and often absurd tasks. The premise of the show involves gathering five well-known personalities, typically comedians or celebrities with a strong sense of humor, to creatively and resourcefully tackle these peculiar challenges.

This season's lineup of contestants includes the sharp and charming Borna Kotromanić, stand-up comedian Vlatka Mifka, popular actor Borko Perić, comedian Joža Vrban, and Serbian stand-up comedian Srđan Olman. Viewers can expect a mix of tension, silly ideas, unexpected solutions, and plenty of laughter as these personalities navigate the show's unique demands.

A distinctive feature of 'Direktor svemira' is its filming locations, with tasks often taking place in various settings. However, the contestants reconvene in a theater to discuss their experiences and results, often seeing how their competitors fared for the first time. This dynamic, combined with the live audience's reactions, adds an extra layer of entertainment to the show. The format has proven immensely popular globally, with the UK version alone having aired 21 seasons.
