\n\tEXCLUSIVE:<\/strong>\u00a0Harry Melling<\/a> (Pillion), Adam Nagaitis<\/a> (Star City), and Aminah Nieves<\/a> (1923) have landed roles alongside Mahershala Ali in the second season of HBO<\/a>\u2018s lauded crime drama\u00a0Task<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tMelling will play Brennan Boylan, a powder-keg DEA agent, with Nagaitis as the loyal and unflappable DEA agent, Luke Clemmons. Nieves plays Nataly Zamora, a no-nonsense FBI agent and dedicated young mother who fights hard to protect the community that raised her.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously announced, Ali plays Eddie Barnes, a seasoned and well-respected DEA agent in Philadelphia whose team comes into conflict with the unit of Tom Brandis, played by Mark Ruffalo, who headlined Season 1 opposite Tom Pelphrey.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first season of\u00a0Task\u00a0found Ruffalo\u2019s Brandis forming a task force to track down a crew of masked robbers, led by a working-class family man, that were carrying out a series of violent crimes in the Philadelphia area. In Season 2, Brandis takes the helm of a new task force, but the deeper the operation runs, the harder it is to tell who\u2019s the target.<\/p>\n

\n\tTask\u00a0is created by Brad Ingelsby, who returned to HBO following his work on its Emmy-winning crime drama\u00a0Mare of Easttown. Ingelsby is also writing, showrunning, and exec producing alongside Paul Lee and Mark Roybal for wiip, Jeremiah Zagar, Ruffalo, and Ron Schmidt. Nicole Jordan-Webber and Karen Wacker are co-executive producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show is one of the buzziest series in recent memory and has already made a mark on the awards circuit, with numerous Critics\u2019 Choice Award nominations, along with multiple WGA Award nominations, and a Golden Globe nom recognizing Ruffalo\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tMelling is an English actor coming off an award-winning lead role opposite Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd in A24\u2019s lauded BDSM-themed film Pillion. He returned to Cannes last week in the Director\u2019s Fortnight entry\u00a0Butterfly Jam, where he stars opposite Barry Keoghan and Riley Keough, and next stars alongside Jodie Comer in the musical drama\u00a0Stuffed, the directorial debut of filmmaker Theo Rhys. He is represented by CAA, Sophie Holden at Curtis Brown Group, and Lucy Popkin at Goodman, Genow, Schenkman.<\/p>\n

\n\tNagaitis has been seen in series like\u00a0Chernobyl,\u00a0The Terror\u00a0and\u00a0The Agency, along with films like Ridley Scott\u2019s\u00a0The Last Duel. Next up for him is\u00a0Star City, Apple TV\u2019s spin-off of the space race series\u00a0For All Mankind, which premieres on May 29. He is repped by Independent Talent Group.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecently seen in the\u00a0Yellowstone\u00a0prequel series\u00a01923, as well as Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s\u00a0A House of Dynamite, Nieves is repped by Gersh, M88, and Del Shaw Moonves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE:\u00a0Harry Melling (Pillion), Adam Nagaitis (Star City), and Aminah Nieves (1923) have landed roles alongside Mahershala Ali in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[216331,216332,18,117,66776,9540,19,17,1800,128],"class_list":["post-496836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-adam-nagaitis","tag-aminah-nieves","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-melling","tag-hbo","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-task","tag-tv"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116616148400670622","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
