HBO Max has released the official trailer for Task, a gripping new drama series created by acclaimed screenwriter Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown), with direction by Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield. Set in the blue-collar suburbs of Philadelphia, the series debuts on September 7, 2025, and will roll out over seven episodes, released weekly.
At the heart of Task is Mark Ruffalo, playing FBI Agent Tom, who heads a local task force determined to shut down a spree of brutal drug-house robberies. But the twist? The ringleader isn’t who you’d expect—Tom Pelphrey portrays a seemingly ordinary family man whose double life unravels as the series progresses. The tension between duty, deception, and desperation drives the emotional and narrative weight of the show.
The ensemble cast is stacked with talent: Emilia Jones, Jamie McShane, Thuso Mbedu, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Raúl Castillo, Phoebe Fox, Martha Plimpton, Silvia Dionicio, and Sam Keeley round out a cast poised to deliver deeply layered performances across the board.
With Task, Brad Ingelsby returns to the atmospheric, character-driven storytelling that made Mare of Easttown a critical success. The trailer promises a moody, tightly-woven narrative grounded in community, crime, and moral ambiguity—hallmarks of Ingelsby’s work. Fans of emotionally rich crime dramas can expect a complex look at loyalty, justice, and what happens when the lines between the two blur.
