Task’ Builds Early Buzz as HBO’s Seven-Episode Crime Drama Takes Shape

From creator Brad Ingelsby, the series follows an FBI pursuit across the Philadelphia suburbs.

Overview

  • Mark Ruffalo stars as Tom Brandis, an FBI agent leading a task force probing violent home invasions tied to a local motorcycle gang.
  • Tom Pelphrey plays Robbie Prendergrast, a seemingly ordinary garbage collector revealed as the heists’ mastermind who dons a skull mask.
  • Early coverage two episodes in describes a tangled story with legal fallout and family stakes without revealing major twists.
  • Emilia Jones plays Maeve, while Raúl Castillo and Owen Teague appear as Robbie’s crew, with Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver and Thuso Mbedu on the FBI task force.
  • Off-screen, Ruffalo has been married to Sunrise Coigney for more than two decades, and Pelphrey, engaged to Kaley Cuoco, says he housed his family near set so they could visit.
