Brad Ingelsby’s “Task” has seen steady growth over the course of its season, with its penultimate episode seeing a 32% rise in viewers compared to its premiere.

Episode 6, which debuted Sunday, Oct. 12, brought in more than 4 million U.S. viewers across HBO, HBO Max and other streaming platforms, according to Nielsen live-plus-three-day viewing data and internal figures from Warner Bros. Discovery. The strong viewership marks a significant uptick from the 3.1 million viewers brought in by the premiere episode, which boosted “Task” to rank among the top 5 HBO series debuts in platform history.
