Upcoming HBO drama starring Mark Ruffalo displays emotional intensity in recently released trailer
Get ready for an intense ride as the highly anticipated crime thriller, "Task," is set to hit screens soon. The latest show on HBO Max, "Task" also becomes available on Sky Atlantic and Now (through an Entertainment pass) in the UK.
The trailer for "Task" offers a glimpse into a moody and intense world, with a dark colour palette that features night-time exchanges and dank crime scenes. The series promises to build towards a violent crescendo, as suggested by the trailer's dramatic scenes of gunfights and chases.
At the heart of the story is Mark Ruffalo, who plays an FBI agent leading a Task Force to stop a series of violent robberies in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia. Tom Pelphrey takes on the role of the unsuspecting family man who is revealed to be behind these crimes. The show delves into the FBI's efforts to end these drug house robberies, with Ruffalo's character returning to the field after a family tragedy and Pelphrey's character justifying his actions as necessary to support his family.
"Task" stands out for its exploration of the moral complexity around crime and survival, offering a unique perspective on both the criminal and law enforcement sides of the story. The climactic scene of the series appears to be a super intense moment, with Ruffalo's character and Pelphrey's character potentially meeting in a forest environment.
"Task" will premiere on Sunday, September 8, 2025, at 9/8c on HBO and HBO Max. The first season consists of seven episodes, which will be released weekly. As HBO Max continues to expand to more countries, fans worldwide can look forward to this gripping new series.
