Hi @Maria_Vatikiotis and welcome to the Forum!
This is actually an expected behavior; as it stands recurring tasks are only generated once the current task is marked as Completed: you can learn more in this article from our Guide: How to Complete Task Fields in Asana | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide
And if you haven’t yet, I would recommend adding your vote to this #productfeedback thread: Visibility of all Recurring tasks
Hope this helps clear things up, but if you have any follow-up questions, feel free to reach out!
