UPDATE: The highly anticipated finale of HBO’s gripping crime series Task is set to premiere tonight, October 19, 2025, at 9 PM ET on HBO and HBO Max. Following the shocking outcomes of Episode 6, viewers are eager to see how the series will conclude.
Last week’s episode left fans reeling as two key characters met their untimely fates, prompting speculation about the show’s future. The cliffhanger of Episode 6 saw Robbie Prendergrast, portrayed by Tom Pelphrey, outsmarting his killers, revealing that the supposed drug money they fought for was actually a decoy filled with pamphlets. The real cash has now fallen into the hands of his niece Maeve and his wife, Shelley.
Task has become a must-watch series, and the emotional stakes are higher than ever. With FBI Agent Tom Brandis, played by Mark Ruffalo, closing in on the Dark Hearts, and unresolved issues looming over characters like Jayson Wilkes and Perry Dorazo, the finale promises to deliver explosive revelations.
As fans prepare for the final episode, the question on everyone’s mind is: what will happen to Maeve and the rest of the surviving characters? Will they find a way to secure a happy ending, or will the darkness catch up with them?
For those wondering about the future of Task, the series was initially intended as a limited run, but creator Brad Ingelsby hinted at the possibility of a second season if there is enough viewer interest. “As long as people want to watch these stories, then I’ll continue to write them,” he stated.
