New Trailer For Mark Ruffalo's HBO Crime Drama Series TASK
HBO has released a new trailer for Mark Ruffalo’s new seven-episode crime drama Task, which comes from Brad Ingelsby, the creator of Mare of Easttown.
The story is set in the working-class neighborhoods of suburban Philadelphia, and follows Ruffalo as an FBI agent assigned to head up a special task force targeting a series of increasingly violent robberies.
The twist is that one of the criminals is a seemingly normal family man, played by Ozark’s Tom Pelphrey, who’s pulled into a spiral of desperation and crime.
The supporting cast includes Emilia Jones (CODA), Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Thuso Mbedu (The Underground Railroad), Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon), Alison Oliver, Raúl Castillo, Silvia Dionicio, Phoebe Fox, and Martha Plimpton.
Ingelsby serves as creator, writer, and showrunner, and he’s joined by executive producers and directors Jeremiah Zagar (We the Animals) and Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Winning Time). Ruffalo also pulls double duty as EP, with production support from wiip and Public Record.
Task looks to be another slow-burn, emotionally resonant crime story with a focus on the blurry lines between law and criminality.
The series premieres Sunday, September 7 at 9pm on HBO and will stream next day on HBO Max.
