Task Finale Closes Season 1 on a Note of Hard-Won Hope as HBO Mulls the Future

HBO has not announced a renewal, with creator Brad Ingelsby signaling interest in continuing the Delco-set story world.

Overview

  • The seven-episode season concluded on Oct. 19 with a finale that resolves the central case and personal arcs without breaking the show’s grounded tone.
  • Post-finale interviews with Mark Ruffalo and Brad Ingelsby frame the ending as intentionally hopeful, underscored by the series’ recurring bird motif.
  • The season’s conclusion leans into themes of forgiveness, fatherhood and moral gray areas, emphasizing compassion alongside institutional duty.
  • HBO has yet to order more episodes; industry coverage notes the show’s awards positioning in drama categories as a sign the door could be open, but no plans are confirmed.
  • All episodes are now streaming on HBO Max, inviting new viewers as conversations about a possible continuation continue.
