RIDLEY TOWNSHIP, PA — HBO's "Task" is once again filming in Delaware County next week, returning to a church in Ridley Township.
The critically acclaimed series starring Mark Ruffalo will be filming scenes for Season 2 in the area of Our Lady of Peace Parish. Scenes from Season 1 were filmed there two years ago, according to the Delco Times.
Filming is scheduled for Tuesday, but parking restrictions will begin Monday evening to accomodate trucks and trailers for the show, according to Random Productions. (View the restrictions below.)
"Task" follows FBI agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), who leads a task force in the working-class Philadelphia suburbs to investigate a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspected family man. The series takes place in Delco and the surrounding areas.
The series is set in the same world of "Mare of Easttown," an HBO miniseries that also took place in the Philly suburbs. Both shows were created and written by Brad Ingelsby, who grew up in Berwyn and graduated from Villanova University.
Filming for Season 2 of "Task" has been taking place in various parts of the region, including the Llanerch Diner in Upper Darby and inside a home in Springfield Township. The entire season will be filmed in Southeastern Pennsylvania, according to state officials.
A premiere date for Season 2 hasn't been announced.
