Julianne Nicholson has been cast in season 2 of Task.

The actress is set to reprise her Mare of Easttown role as Lori Ross in the upcoming season of Task, ABC Audio has confirmed.

This directly connects the shows Task and Mare of Easttown. Both were created by Brad Ingelsby and take place in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Now they exist in the same universe.

Nicholson won an Emmy in 2021 for portraying Lori Ross, a mother of three children who resides in Easttown, in Mare of Easttown.

Season 2 of Task follows star Mark Ruffalo once again taking on the role of Agent Tom Brandis.

“Tom Brandis takes the helm of a new task force, but the deeper the operation runs, the harder it is to tell who’s the target,” according to the season’s official logline.

Also starring are Mahershala Ali as Eddie Barnes, Harry Melling as Brennan Boylan, Adam Nagaitis as Luke Clemmons, Aminah Nieves as Nataly Zamora and Edgar Ramírez as Miguel Contreras.

In addition to creating the show, Ingelsby serves as its writer, showrunner and executive producer. Ruffalo also executive produces. Task season 2 is currently in preproduction, according to HBO.

HOUSTON/US: Texans Unveil a Uniform as Bold, Fresh and H-Town as the City Itself

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    August 26, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) -- Houston, we have a new look — and Houston Style Magazine is officially stoked. The Houston Texans unveiled their new HOUSTON/US alternate uniform Tuesday, August 25, giving H-Town a football fit that feels less like somebody designed a jersey and more like somebody drove down Westheimer, cruised through Third Ward, looked up at the city’s street signs and said, “Put all of that on the uniform.”Created through the Nike x NFL Rivalries program, HOUSTON/US arrives drenched in Liberty White, H-Town Blue and Battle Red, celebrating Houston culture through details inspired by the city’s historic blue-and-white street tiles, customized automobiles and the celebrated “Be Someone” bridge imagery. The Rivalries initiative allows participating NFL clubs to develop community-rooted alternate uniforms designed around their local identity.And this one is unapologetically Houston.photo Start with the Texans’ first-ever Liberty White helmet, a nod to the white helmet prototype late franchise founder Robert C. McNair displayed in 1999 before Houston ultimately adopted Deep Steel Blue. Then give it a candy-paint-inspired finish, Houston street-tile graphics reading “H-Town” and “Texans,” plus a chrome H-Town Blue facemask that looks like it could have rolled straight out of a Houston custom-car showcase.The jersey numbers borrow their block styling from the “Be Someone” bridge, while player nameplates echo Houston’s iconic tiled street signs. The Bullhead logo also moves over the heart for the first time in franchise history. Even the inside collar carries the concept home: HOUSTON/US, emphasizing that this uniform is supposed to represent the millions of people who make Greater Houston one of America’s most diverse metropolitan communities.Texans Chair and CEO Cal McNair said the organization wanted something meaningful and uniquely Houston as the franchise celebrates its 25th season. Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Doug Vosik called the design the team’s most Houston-centered uniform yet. Judging by the details, that might be an understatement.The NFL’s national Rivalries campaign adds even more hometown horsepower, featuring Texans star Nico Collins alongside Houston cultural heavyweights Bun B and Slim Thug — because apparently this uniform needed just a little more H-Town credibility.Now comes the real show.The Texans will debut HOUSTON/US under the lights at Reliant Stadium on Thursday, November 19, at 7:15 p.m. CT, hosting AFC South rival Indianapolis in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football. Fans are being encouraged to wear H-Town Blue.Rivalries merchandise goes on sale September 1, with a Texans Mobile Team Shop appearance at City Centre September 5.Houston has always understood that style is storytelling. Now our hometown football team is wearing the story.By the H. For the H. For US.Explore the Houston Texans HOUSTON/US Uniform and Official Rivalries Collection Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
