HBO Task Trailer Teases Showdown Between Two Troubled Men

HBO has just dropped the trailer for their new series, Task, and it looks like things are about to get intense. Starring Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey, this drama from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby is set in the suburbs of Philadelphia and tackles some tough issues like drug use. Scheduled to premiere in September on HBO and HBO Max, Task follows Ruffalo as an FBI agent leading a team of rookie officers to take down a group of violent thieves led by Pelphrey, a seemingly ordinary family man.

The trailer, set to the tune of “Patience” by Guns N’ Roses, gives us a glimpse of the high-stakes showdown between these two complex characters. Alongside Ruffalo and Pelphrey, the cast includes Emilia Jones, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Thuso Mbedu, and a stellar lineup of talented actors.

Created by Ingelsby, who is also the showrunner, Task promises to be a gripping series that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With directors Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield on board, along with a top-notch production team, this show is definitely one to watch out for. Stay tuned for more updates on Task as we get closer to the premiere date!
