HBO has renewed Task for a second season. The announcement was made during the network’s New York press presentation, confirming that the crime drama will continue following its strong Season 1 performance and growing audience on HBO Max.

Season 1, led by Emmy winner Mark Ruffalo, ranks among HBO’s top three fastest-growing debut seasons. The cabler said via statement:

“We knew well in advance of its launch that we had a powerful drama series on our hands, but it has been so rewarding to witness the audience’s fervor and embrace of this show as it grew week after week. Rarely does a writer balance humanistic storytelling with intricate, explosive plotting but Brad Ingelsby is one of our industry’s greats and we have no doubt he will strike as profoundly and addictively once again in season two.”

Series creator Brad Ingelsby, added:

“We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have HBO’s unwavering support of Task from the very first script onwards, throughout production, and during their extraordinary launch of our first season to audiences. They are an unmatched creative home. On behalf of the entire Task team, in front of and behind the camera, I am honored and excited to get back to work on a second season of our show.”

Set in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, Season 1 follows an FBI agent (Ruffalo) overseeing a task force targeting a series of violent robberies connected to an unsuspecting family man (Tom Pelphrey). The cast also includes Emilia Jones, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Thuso Mbedu, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Raúl Castillo, Silvia Dionicio, Phoebe Fox, and Martha Plimpton.

Expect Task Season 2 to premiere in 2027.

Editor’s Take: Task‘s character work is dense, the atmosphere is heavy in a good way, and Ingelsby’s world-building pulls you in fast. The Season 1 ending stumbled a bit for me, mostly in how certain plot threads wrapped up, but that’s also a sign of how invested the series managed to make me. I’m absolutely curious, and fully plugged in, for Season 2.
