Who is expected to be in the cast?
Mark Ruffalo is expected to return as FBI agent Tom Brandis. Reporting also identifies Mahershala Ali as joining the series as a DEA agent, and names several returning cast members.
- Reported to return: Martha Plimpton, Julianne Nicholson as Lori, Silvia Dionicio as Emily, and Andrew Russel as Ethan.
- Not returning: Phoebe Fox said Sara will not be back because the character lives in a different city.
These details come from reporting by TV Insider and The Associated Press; HBO’s renewal announcement did not provide a complete season-two cast list.

Why is the story continuing after season 1?
Creator and showrunner Brad Ingelsby told the Associated Press that the first season felt to him as if it had a clear ending, and that HBO raised the idea of continuing. He said he was open to it because of his regard for the cast and crew. In a separate interview with The Ankler, Ingelsby emphasized that he is more interested in the characters’ emotional lives than in the plot mechanics. That points to a character-focused approach, but does not reveal the season-two storyline.
Where can you watch Task?
