Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Julianne Nicholson will reprise her Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown role of Lori Ross in Season 2 of HBO’s Task.
- Task Season 2 has entered pre-production and early shooting in the Philadelphia area, with production activity reported in Manayunk.
- New cast additions for Task S2 include Mahershala Ali, Edgar Ramírez, Harry Melling, Adam Nagaitis and Aminah Nieves alongside returning lead Mark Ruffalo.
- HBO’s official Season 2 logline says Tom Brandis takes charge of a new task force, but plot details and how Nicholson’s Lori fits into that story have not been revealed.
- Creators and executives had long signaled the shows could overlap, and Nicholson’s casting both confirms that shared Delco universe and tests whether the franchise can expand without losing the originals’ tone.
