"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," said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice Programming of HBO Programming and Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. "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."
"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," shared 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."
