Brad Ingelsby, the man behind the hit HBO series “Mare of Easttown” who has now debuted his latest crime thriller “Task” with Mark Ruffalo thinks the two stories could mingle pretty well, writes Lexi Carson for Hollywood Reporter.
Ingelsby said both series explore similar themes of grief, generational trauma, and both are based in Delaware County.
“I think there were still more stories to be told about people in Delaware County,” Ingelsby said. “They exist in the same world, so it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Mare (played by Kate Winslet) walked into a Wawa that Tom (played by Mark Ruffalo) was in. I don’t have a story in mind that’s a crossover, but I love the idea of their worlds intersecting.”
“Task” co-star Tom Pelphrey thinks a crossover would be amazing and would “make a lot of people very happy.”
Mare of Easttown focused on Kate Winslet’s Mare Sheehan, a detective investigating a murder amidst her own struggles.
Task has Mark Ruffalo’s Tom Brandis as a former priest turned FBI agent assigned to a task force looking into robberies run by Pelphrey’s character, Robbie Prendergrast.
