Mark Ruffalo is heading back to HBO next month, and a new trailer gives us a first look at him in Task.

Ruffalo, who previously starred in HBO’s I Know This Much Is True, will once again be taking to the small screen for the thriller, which will debut in the UK on Sky.

The show is created by Mare of Easttown’s Brag Ingelsby and is set in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, where an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man (Tom Pelphrey).

The seven-episode series also stars Emilia Jones, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Thuso Mbedu, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Raúl Castillo, Silvia Dionicio, Phoebe Fox, and Martha Plimpton. Behind the camera, the directors are Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield, who are also exec-producers alongside Ingelsby.

The series premieres on Monday 8th September on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, with episodes arriving weekly. Here’s the trailer – and, below that, a teaser:
