Creator Didn't Plan 'Task' Season 2, Loved Set Too Much!

Creator Brad Ingelsby confessed that 'Task' was never intended to be more than a limited series. However, the overwhelmingly positive experience on set during season one was a significant factor in reconsidering a second season. He stated that the great collaboration and enjoyable atmosphere made him want to return to work with the same team.

Season one of the HBO crime drama centered on FBI agent Tom Brandis, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo, investigating drug trafficking in Philadelphia. Ingelsby found inspiration for a continuing storyline in Brandis's emotional arc concerning his son's return, an aspect he felt was rarely explored on screen.
