HBO is rounding out the cast of its upcoming limited series Task.
The drama from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby has added Martha Plimpton and Mireille Enos to its already large ensemble. Mark Ruffalo heads the cast as an FBI agent leading a task force investigating a string of drug-house robberies in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Plimpton’s presence in Task was revealed Sunday in a teaser for HBO and Max’s upcoming programming. She will play Kathleen McGinty, a career FBI agent who recruits Tom (Ruffalo) to head up the task force, just as she learns that she is being forced to retire. Enos will play Susan Brandis, Tom’s wife and the heart and soul of their family. She and Tom married young and is the reason he left the priesthood.
The show’s cast also includes Tom Pelphrey, Emilia Jones, Thuso Mbedu, Raúl Castillo, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Owen Teague, Dominic Colón, Margarita Levieva, Raphael Sbarge, Mickey Sumner, Brian Goodman, Elvis Nolasco, Colin Bates, Isaach de Bankole, Phoebe Fox, Silvia Dionicio and Coral Peña.
Task is based on an original idea by Ingelsby, who serves as writer and showrunner of the limited series. He executive produces with Ruffalo; directors Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield; Paul Lee and Mark Roybal of Wiip; and David Crockett. Nicole Jordan-Webber and Public Record’s Jeremy Yaches are co-EPs.
Plimpton starred opposite Kate Winslet in HBO’s The Regime last year. The Emmy winner, will next be seen in Prime Target on Apple TV+, which premieres in January, and is filming Netflix’s East of Eden adaptation. Plimpton is repped by Innovative Artists and Markham Froggatt.
