HBO’s ‘Task’ Names All-Women Directing Team for Season 2

HBO has set the Season 2 directing roster for the crime drama “Task,” appointing an all-women team that includes returning director Salli Richardson-Whitfield along with three new directors: Georgi Banks-Davies, Clare Kilner and Kitty Green.

HBO has announced the directing team for Season 2 of its crime drama “Task,” with all four directors named as women, according to an exclusive report from Deadline published June 22. The production will bring back Salli Richardson-Whitfield, who previously directed for “Task,” for the next season while adding three additional directors to the rotation.

Richardson-Whitfield will return to helm Season 2, Deadline reports, after directing episodes of “Task” and work including “The Gilded Age.” Her return is part of HBO’s established approach to selecting directors with television and feature experience aligned with the series’ tone and pacing.

The newly appointed directors joining the Season 2 team are Georgi Banks-Davies, Clare Kilner and Kitty Green. Deadline reports that Banks-Davies, who is credited for directing “I Hate Suzie,” will join the season’s directing slate.

Deadline also reports that Clare Kilner, known for work on “House of the Dragon,” will direct episodes for Season 2 of “Task.” The appointment positions Kilner within a high-profile genre pipeline spanning major network and streaming franchises.

Kitty Green, whose recent credits include “The Assistant,” will complete the new additions to the Season 2 directing roster, Deadline reports. With Green, Banks-Davies and Kilner, the series’ Season 2 director lineup reflects a mix of UK and international television and film backgrounds across crime, prestige drama and character-led storytelling.

Deadline characterizes “Task” as a critically acclaimed series, and the new roster announcement was framed as an exclusive look at how HBO is building its production team for the next season. The report also notes the Season 2 directing group will consist entirely of women, rather than a mixed-gender lineup.

An HBO spokesperson or production entity was not quoted in the Deadline summary provided to this newsroom, and no premiere date for Season 2 was included in the information at hand. HBO’s next steps for the project may include releasing additional creative details, such as episode direction assignments by individual director and casting or production timelines.

Why It Matters

  • The announcement clarifies HBO’s creative staffing for “Task” ahead of Season 2 production and eventual release.
  • By publicizing director assignments early, the studio may affect how viewers and industry audiences track continuity of style across seasons.
  • A director lineup concentrated in one demographic category may influence how industry observers discuss representation in high-budget television craft roles, though HBO did not provide further details in the provided record.
  • Named directors bring established genre and prestige experience that can shape how the series sustains its tone and narrative structure across episodes.
