New star-studded crime thriller series could be your next TV obsession

The show comes from the writer of Mare of Easttown.

The upcoming limited series sees Ingelsby returning to Philadelphia, which was where his brilliant, smash-hit show Mare of Easttown was set.

Task, however, focuses on Tom (Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight), an FBI agent who is assigned to head up a new task force.

The goal of the unit is to put an end to a string of violent robberies being carried out by a seemingly ordinary family man, Robbie (Tom Pelphrey, Ozark).

Based on the exciting and moody teaser for Task, its story will follow both men as their paths grow closer and closer to colliding.

Alongside Ruffalo and Pelphrey, the cast of the project includes Alison Oliver (Saltburn), Emilia Jones (Coda), Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon), Jamie McShane (Bloodline), Martha Plimpton (The Regime), Phoebe Fox (Black Mirror), Raúl Castillo (Army of the Dead), Sam Keeley (Kin) and Thuso Mbedu (The Woman King).

The series will consist of seven episodes, which will be directed by Jeremiah Zagar (Hustle) and Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Winning Time).

Given the talent behind Task and its promising teaser, we will definitely be checking the show out when it comes to NOW and Sky in September 2025.
