Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown remains a popular topic of discussion, even four years after its release. Prime Video users with the HBO add-on are returning to this crime mini-series, and the attention has picked up again now that its creator, Brad Ingelsby, is back with a new show. With a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 95% and a strong viewer rating of 94% from over 1,000 users, the series continues to hold its place as one of HBO’s most gripping titles.

What Is Mare of Easttown About?

The series stars Kate Winslet as Detective Marianne Sheehan, a once-respected figure in a small Philadelphia suburb whose personal life has started to fall apart. She investigates the murder of a teenage mother while dealing with the disappearance of another young girl, all while trying to cope with a divorce, a custody battle over her grandson, and the grief of losing her son. Winslet’s performance anchors the show, earning her an Emmy, alongside co-stars Julianne Nicholson and Evan Peters, both of whom are recognized for their roles.

Brad Ingelsby Returns With Task

The interest in Mare of Easttown is also being lifted by the arrival of Task, Ingelsby’s new show, which premiered on HBO on Sunday, September 7, 2025. New episodes release each Sunday until October 19. UK viewers can watch it on Sky and NOW. Task is not linked to Mare of Easttown but shares a similar setting and tone.
