HBO Filming Mark Ruffalo-Led Show In Delco Again Next Week

CHADDS FORD TOWNSHIP, PA — HBO's semi-sequel follow-up series to the hit "Mare of Easttown" is filming again in Delaware County, and will close a road in one municipality to do so.

According to PennDOT, HBO will be filming "Task," starring Mark Ruffalo, in Chadds Ford Township Thursday, April 25 to Saturday, April 27.

PennDOT said the production will force the closure of Beaver Dam Road in Chadds Ford. The closure will be in place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 25, and from 6 a.m. April 26 to 6 p.m. April 27.

The affected portion of road is between Brandywine Creek and Beaver Valley roads. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Brandywine Creek Road, Route 92 (Ramsey Road), and Beaver Valley Road.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

"Task" is a follow-up and quasi sequel to the hit series "Mare of Easttown."

Filming of "Task" took place in Ridley Township in early March, in Aston in mid-March, and in Upper Chichester Tuesday and Wednesday.

"Task" appears to be a spiritual successor to the hit series "Mare of Easttown," which filmed in and around Delaware County and garnered several awards.

Ruffalo said in an interview with Deadline that he will be playing a "damaged" FBI agent in "Task," and said his character and Winslet's character from "Mare" could run into one another in the new series.

Ingelsby in 2021 said he was open to a sequel to the series, but little information about a follow-up came out until recently.

He said to follow up on the first season, he would want to ensure a new "story honors the first chapter and does things an audience will appreciate" to move forward with a new chapter of "Mare of Easttown."

Ruffalo is previously starred in another Delaware-County-set production in 2014's "Foxcatcher." Ruffalo played wrestler Dave Schultz, who was killed by John Eleuthère du Pont at du Pont's farm in Newtown Square in 1996.
