Series 86 is the current series of Countdown and the last to feature Anne Robinson as presenter, with most editions presented by Colin Murray. Les Dennis is also set to make his debut as guest presenter.

Susie Dent did not appear in the first three episodes, due to contracting COVID-19.

After announcing her immediate departure from the show on 2 May 2022, Anne Robinson's last episode aired on 13 July 2022. Murray temporarily took over from 14 July 2022, and will continue to present until at least November 2022, as confirmed on his Twitter feed. However it remains to be seen if he will present beyond this, either temporarily or permanently. When Murray did return, however, so too did the starter button and 9-letter teatime teasers. In addition, Murray began selecting who declared first based on who he thought got there first, rather than sticking to traditional order.

However, Murray himself contracted COVID-19 on the Monday of his second recording block. As a result of this, former Family Fortunes presenter Les Dennis will take over presenting duties for the Tuesday and Wednesday recording days, a period spanning 4-15 August 2022 on screen, and Drawers Off presenter Jenny Eclair also presenting some episodes.

Apterites Graham Harrison, Edward Byrne and Damian McEvoy have appeared so far, with fellow Apterites John Aziz, Jack Davies and Joseph Bartram due to appear later on.
