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.
