All Signs Point to Task Season 2 After Season 1 Blu-ray Release Date Reveal

If you were wondering whether HBO's 'Task' is a one-and-done, today's update leans the other way. It is not a renewal, but it is the kind of move that usually means a studio plans to keep a show in the conversation.

The Blu-ray is coming... in 2026

Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has set 'Task: The Complete First Season' for Blu-ray and DVD on April 21, 2026. Yes, 2026. That is a long runway for a physical release, and it lands just a little over a week after the seven-episode first season wrapped its run on HBO. The discs will include behind-the-scenes content for every episode.

Season 2 chatter, straight from the guy who runs the show

Creator and showrunner Brad Ingelsby has already said he wants to keep going if the door stays open.

"If people respond to Task and keep responding to Task, I'd love to tell more stories about this place, because I love writing about this place. I do feel like I have more stories to tell."

Between that and the very long-lead home-video plan, a second season feels very much in play. Not official, not promised, but the tea leaves are readable.

What 'Task' is, and how it landed

Set in the working-class suburbs outside Philadelphia, the series follows Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent who pulls together a task force to stop a string of violent robberies. The twist is that the ring is being run by a seemingly ordinary family man, played by Tom Pelphrey. Critics liked it: the show is sitting at 95% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from 79 reviews.
