Filming for the second season of the Delaware County dark drama “Task” is set to begin in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs on July 6, writes Kristin Hunt for PhillyVoice.
The HBO show is seeking men and women for speaking roles, especially Latino actors.
There are speaking roles for men and women who can speak both English and Spanish, and are at least 18 years old. Deadline to apply is Monday, May 4, at 11:30 AM.
The positions are paid and open to union and non-union performers.
Headshots are being accepted by Heery Loftus Casting, who also handled Season 1 of “Task.”
Few details have been released about “Task’s” next storyline.
Mahershala Ali will play Eddie Barnes, “a seasoned and well-respected DEA agent in Philadelphia.”
Returning lead character Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo) is heading up a new task force and will come into conflict with Barnes.
No other cast member names have been released by HBO.
More Latino characters could mean a new storyline featuring Freddy Frias, the Dominican drug lord
It could also mean the family of Cliff Broward, played by Raul Castillo, is coming on to the scene.
