Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby has landed another series order at HBO – a crime drama starring Mark Ruffalo.
The untitled drama follows a task force of law enforcement officers and the criminals they are trying to apprehend.
Ruffalo will also exec produce alongside Ingelsby, who is writing, and Jeremiah Zagar, who is directing. It forms part of Ingelsby’s overall deal with the network.

The project will be produced in association with wiip with Paul Lee and Mark Roybal serving as executive producers for wiip. Nicole Jordan-Webber and Public Record’s Jeremy Yaches will serve as co-executive producers.
