Task has been confirmed for seven episodes, which will air weekly.

There are currently no announcements regarding a potential season two, however with the series not yet released, never say never!

Task is yet to be given an official rating at the time of writing (May 2025).

However, due to the show's themes and story points, it’s believed it will be unsuitable for younger audiences.

We will update as soon as we know more.

Task will premiere 8th September, exclusively on Sky in the UK.

It will also be available to watch on our streaming service, NOW.

The series will air on HBO in the United States.

Check back in for more details as they are announced.

If you’re already a Sky subscriber, you will get complete continuity of the service at no extra cost via the Max app. The new deal means Sky and NOW customers benefit from more content through bundled access to the streaming service that will exclusively feature new HBO Original and Max Original shows and more.

And in the case of Task and a range of other series, as part of Sky’s new deal with HBO, customers will continue to find shows such as House of the Dragon, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us, and any new series aired before the end of 2025, on Sky Atlantic and through Sky’s On Demand service.

Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios and chief content officer of Sky, said: “What’s really good about the deal that we struck is that if you’re a Sky subscriber, at no additional cost, you will have access to the Max app within your Sky platform. So if you’re already a Sky subscriber, you have complete continuity of service. Actually, you probably have more because Max will have more content than what we have today with the HBO shows and the Warner Bros. films.

“It’s going to be completely seamless for those customers, so you’ll have a really rich experience, and that’s at no additional cost.

“Any show that we’ve had historically on our channels you’ll continue to get on the channels, including future seasons of The Last of Us and The White Lotus.”

In addition, NOW UK and Ireland Entertainment members will also receive bundled access to the ad-supported version of Max, seamlessly integrated into the NOW experience alongside other premium content. They will also continue to get the existing series which were available on Sky as part of their subscription.

The Sky Exclusive drama series Task, from creator Brad Ingelsby (Emmy nominee for Mare of Easttown), debuts Monday 8 September on Sky and streaming service NOW.
