UPDATE: The highly anticipated final episode of HBO’s crime series Task premieres tonight, October 19, 2025, at 9 PM ET. Viewers are buzzing with anticipation following last week’s shocking twists that left two central characters dead and the fate of the remaining ensemble hanging in the balance.
Last week’s intense episode culminated in devastating losses, igniting speculation about the series’ conclusion. Episode 6, titled “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a river,” revealed the fate of Robbie Prendergrast, portrayed by Tom Pelphrey. His demise occurred after a brutal confrontation involving Jayson Wilkes and Perry Dorazo, who believed they had secured a fortune in drug money—only to discover it was filled with travel pamphlets instead. The real cash was secretly handed to Robbie’s niece Maeve and his estranged wife Shelley, setting the stage for dramatic fallout.
As the clock ticks down to the series finale, fans are eager to learn how unresolved storylines will unfold. FBI Agent Tom Brandis, played by Mark Ruffalo, is aware that Anthony Grasso is the mole in his task force, and tensions are high as the clock runs down for Grasso. Meanwhile, Jayson remains oblivious to the truth about his wife, Eryn, and the shocking betrayal by his mentor, Perry.
What happens next? Fans are left questioning how Maeve will utilize her newfound wealth and the potential ramifications for Tom’s family. With only one episode left, the stakes have never been higher.
Task Episode 7, titled “A Still Small Voice,” is crucial for tying up these loose ends. To catch the finale, viewers can tune in to HBO or stream it on HBO Max starting at 9 PM ET tonight.
For those wondering about the future of the series, Task was originally conceived as a limited series with seven episodes. However, creator Brad Ingelsby hinted at the possibility of a continuation, stating, “I’d love to do another season of Task if there’s an appetite for it.”
For fans looking to catch up, Task airs exclusively on HBO and HBO Max. Subscriptions start at $9.99/month with ads or $16.99/month ad-free, with potential savings on annual plans.
Get ready for the thrilling conclusion of Task and share your thoughts with fellow fans as the series reaches its dramatic climax!
