HBO Renews Hit Crime Drama for Season 2

HBO has officially renewed the hit crime drama Task for a second season. Mark Ruffalo will return to play FBI agent Tom Brandis.

The news came Thursday morning during a press event in New York, where HBO and HBO Max Content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys made the announcement.

“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,” said series creator and showrunner Brad Ingelsby.

“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.”

Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO Drama Series and Films, praised the show and its creator.

“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.”

The first season of Task was a big hit with viewers, and fans can now look forward to seeing more of Mark Ruffalo’s character and the gripping storylines in season two.
