Actor Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers, Zodiac, Reflector) has signed on to star in a new limited series headed to HBO. The untitled series was created by Brad Ingelsby (The way back, Our friend), and is based on an original idea that is said to follow “a task force of law enforcement officers and the criminals they are trying to arrest”. According to an individual familiar with the situation, via Variety, casting decisions were made before the writers’ strike began. Furthermore, the production of the series does not yet have a start date.
The show marks a return to HBO for both Ingelsby and Ruffalo. Ingelsby previously created the acclaimed HBO limited series “Mare of Easttown” starring Kate Winslet. The show received 16 Emmy nominations upon its release, eventually winning four. “Mare of Easttown” was produced by wiip, who will also produce the task force series.
For Ruffalo, he previously starred in the HBO limited series “I Know This Much Is True” and the HBO film “The Normal Heart.” Ingelsby is the writer and executive producer on the project under his overall deal with HBO. Paul Lee and Mark Roybal are the executive producers of Wiip. Ruffalo will executive produce in addition to starring. Jeremiah Zagar (feverish activity) will serve as director and executive producer.
