Brad Ingelsby Reopens Possibility of Future 'Mare of Easttown' as HBO's 'Task' Premieres Sept. 7

He says any return to Mare would come only after years have passed to protect the story’s emotional weight.

Overview

  • In a new interview, Ingelsby tells Collider he could revisit Mare of Easttown in the future if enough time passes, but he is not developing a new season now.
  • He rejects the idea of a crossover with Task, saying Mare’s complex family life warrants a standalone story.
  • Task premieres Sunday, Sept. 7 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max and will roll out weekly across seven episodes through Oct. 19.
  • Early reaction is strong, with the Boston Globe praising Task as a character-first crime drama set in Delaware County.
  • The series stars Mark Ruffalo as a burned-out FBI agent and Tom Pelphrey as a robber with a grudge, foregrounding themes of grief, loneliness, and fatherhood.
