Actress Julianne Nicholson has discussed her return to the role of Lori Ross in the second season of the HBO crime drama ‘Task’. Nicholson, who won an Emmy for her performance in ‘Mare of Easttown’, expressed initial concerns regarding the expectations of fans after a six-year hiatus.

She noted that her apprehensions faded upon reuniting with creator Brad Ingelsby, producer Mark Roybal, and the original production team. Nicholson described the experience as feeling “comfortable, like your favorite coat [that] you slipped back on.”

The upcoming season of ‘Task’ features an ensemble cast including Mark Ruffalo, Mahershala Ali, Harry Melling, and Edgar Ramirez. While specific plot details for her character remain undisclosed, Nicholson teased that the season’s central crime is “so moving” and will likely impress viewers.
