‘Task’ Season 2 Adds Harry Melling, Aminah Nieves & More to Cast: Everything We Know So Far
The new cast joins Mahershala Ali in supporting law-enforcement roles as the series expands its Philadelphia-area conflict between DEA and FBI teams.
HBO announced that Harry Melling, Adam Nagaitis, and Aminah Nieves have joined the second season of the crime drama Task, alongside Mahershala Ali and returning star Mark Ruffalo.
Season 2 hits the reset button on the task force, with Ruffalo returning to lead a new operation in Philadelphia where identifying actual targets becomes increasingly complex.
Melling will portray Brennan Boylan, a DEA agent with a short temper, while Nagaitis plays the loyal Luke Clemmons and Nieves joins as FBI agent Nataly Zamora, a dedicated mother.
Ali plays Eddie Barnes, a respected DEA figure whose unit clashes directly with Brandis's team, marking a significant expansion as production prepares to resume.
The series has earned numerous Critics Choice Award and WGA Award nominations plus a Golden Globe recognition for Ruffalo's performance; HBO renewed the project in November 2025 with no official premiere date announced.
