Task S1
Task is a new crime drama series from Brad Ingelsby, creator of the four-time Emmy winner Mare of Easttown.
Four-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo plays an FBI agent heading up a task force trying to put an end to a string of violent robberies. The stacked cast includes South African star Thuso Mbedu, Emmy nominee Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), BAFTA nominee Emilia Jones (CODA), Jamie McShane (Wednesday, 1923), Alison Oliver (Saltburn) and Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston Cole in House of the Dragon).
After earning two International Emmy nominations as Winnie in Mzansi Magic’s Is’thunzi, Mbedu’s career went international. She cracked a Critics Choice Best Actress nomination as Cora in the Emmy-nominated The Underground Railroad, won the Black Reel Breakthrough Actress Award as Nawi in the #1 box office hit The Woman King, and has had voice roles in Mufasa: The Lion King and Castlevania: Nocturne. Next she’ll play the lead in the adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling fantasy Children of Blood & Bone.
