Marvel Cinematic Universe star and award-winning actor Mark Ruffalo (“I Know This Much Is True,” “Spotlight,” “Poor Things,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Avengers: Endgame”) has been tapped for the upcoming limited edition drama series for HBO from “Mare of Easttown” creator Brad Ingelsby.
HBO announced the project this week. The new show will be written and produced by Ingelsby.

Ruffalo also serves as executive producer for the show, with Jeremiah Zagar (“We the Animals”) serving as director and executive producer for the project. The new project is still untitled and uses the handle, “Untitled Brad Ingeslby Task Force Project.”
The new series looks like an original crime drama about a task force of law enforcement officers, and the criminals they want to bring to justice. The casting decision for the show was made before the start of the ongoing Guild of America (WGA) strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

Ingelsby previously created, wrote and executive produced the acclaimed crime drama, “Mare of Easttown,” which also aired on HBO. The show was nominated for 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, and it won four, including Outstanding Lead Actress for star Kate Winslet, Outstanding Supporting Actress for co-star Evan Peters, and Outstanding Supporting Actress for co-star Julianne Nicholson.
Speaking about the announcement in a press release, HBO’s Head of Drama Series and Movies Francesca Orsi commented, “We are absolutely thrilled to once again join forces with Brad Ingelsby, the brilliant writer behind ‘Mare of Easttown.’ Brad’s boundless creativity and unparalleled ability to captivate an audience is truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on another journey together.”
He continued, “When the opportunity arose to work with Mark on another series, we all jumped at the chance to see him once again bring a great human being to life in a new role. We are also honored to work with Jeremiah, an unparalleled director with a deep understanding of storytelling. visuals will only elevate this project to new heights. This meeting of talent is exciting, and we can’t wait to share this story with the world.”

A new series is being produced with wiip, which also produced “Mare of Easttown.” Ingelsby will write and executive produce the limited series under his overall deal with HBO, with Paul Lee and Mark Roybal serving as executive producers for the WIIP banner. Public Record’s Nicole Jordan-Webber and Jeremy Yaches are attached as co-executive producers.
Ruffalo is a three-time Oscar nominee for his performances in “The Kids Are All Right,” “Foxcatcher,” and “Spotlight.” In 2020, he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his two performances as Dominick and Thomas Birdsey in “I Know This Much Is True.” The show also airs on HBO.
With Hollywood currently in the midst of a writer’s strike, and a potential strike with the actors’ union (SAG-AFTRA) looming, it is unknown when the show will be able to begin production. It is likely that the show will not be able to go on camera until the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike issues are resolved.
SAG-AFTRA is negotiating with AMPTP this week, and the union’s current contract with AMPTP expires on June 30. As reported by The Blast, union members voted overwhelmingly in favor of strike authorization, meaning the SAG-AFTRA National Board could potentially call for a strike if a new deal isn’t in place by the upcoming deadline.
