Mark Ruffalo is teaming up with Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown) and HBO for what’s currently known as the Untitled Brad Ingelsby Task Force Project. The network announced they’re given the untitled project a series order and pointed out Ruffalo’s involvement as star and executive producer of the limited series was set into place prior to the WGA strike on May 2, 2023.
HBO also confirmed no work is currently being done on the project as the strike continues.
Three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight, Foxcatcher, The Kids Are All Right) is playing a character named Tom who, per the incredibly short synopsis, is somehow involved with “a task force of law enforcement officers and the criminals they are trying to apprehend.”
Brad Ingelsby’s Mare of Easttown won four Emmys and two Critics Choice Awards, as well as Writers Guild, Producers Guild, and Screen Actors Guild awards. Ingelsby will be writing and executive producing the Untitled Brad Ingelsby Task Force Project, with Jeremiah Zagar (We the Animals) on board to direct and executive produce.
The limited series is a wiip production, with wiip’s Paul Lee and Mark Roybal serving as executive producers.
“We are absolutely thrilled to once again join forces with Brad Ingelsby, the brilliant auteur behind Mare of Easttown. Brad’s boundless creativity and unrivaled ability to captivate audiences is nothing short of inspiring, and we cannot be more excited to embark on another journey together. When the opportunity arose to partner with Mark on another series, we all jumped at the chance to witness him once again breathe great humanity into a new role,” stated Francesca Orsi, EVP Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films.
Orsi continued: “We are also honored to collaborate with Jeremiah, an unparalleled director whose deep understanding of visual storytelling will only elevate this project to new heights. The convergence of these talents is so exciting, and we cannot wait to share this story with the world.”
