Short\/HBO<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Premiering in 2021, <em>Mare of Easttown<\/em> starred Kate Winslet as Mare Sheehan, a detective in a Philadelphia suburb investigating the murder of a teenage mother. The tragic case hits home when Mare discovers that the killer is the young son of her best friend, Lori (Nicholson).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ingelsby&#8217;s follow-up, <em>Task<\/em>, debuted last year, and focused on Philadelphia-based FBI agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), who is put in charge of a task force looking into a series of violent robberies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Task<\/em> earned a second season after Ingelsby decided there was more story to tell, and he previously teased the possibility of a crossover. &#8220;They exist in the same world, so it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me one bit if Mare walked into a Wawa that Tom was in,&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:he said;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-features\/task-mare-of-easttown-potential-crossover-1236364099\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">he said<\/a> of his shows. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have a story in mind, but I love the idea of their worlds intersecting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s unclear at this point how Nicholson&#8217;s Lori factors into the <em>Task<\/em> mix. After already adding Oscar winner Mahershala Ali for the new season, Nicholson brings plenty of her own bonafides to the roster. The actress won her second Emmy last year for her guest turn on <em>Hacks<\/em> and was also nominated for <em>Paradise<\/em>. She received her second nomination for <em>Paradise<\/em> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><em>Task<\/em> season 1 received six Emmy nominations, including for Ruffalo and writing for Ingelsby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Season 2 of <em>Task<\/em> will feature Tom taking the helm of a new task force, but the deeper the operation runs, the harder it is to tell who&#8217;s the target. Joining Nicholson, Ruffalo, and Ali in the cast are Harry Melling, Adam Nagaitis, Aminah Nieves, and Edgar Ram\u00edrez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/task-season-2-mare-of-easttown-crossover-julianne-nicholson-1236805635\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a> first reported Nicholson&#8217;s <em>Task<\/em> casting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/task-mare-of-eassttown-crossover-julianne-nicholson-12015156\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Mare of Easttown and Task will crossover in the new season of Task.
