HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania will invest $49.8 million in season 2 of HBO 's drama series "TASK," a move state officials said will generate more than 3,700 jobs and inject $194.1 million into the Commonwealth's economy.
The Pennsylvania Film Office announced the award on Monday as part of the state's Film Production Tax Credit Program , describing it as the largest tax credit ever granted to a single production.
The series — which stars Mark Ruffalo — was created by Chester County native Brad Ingelsby and will be filmed entirely in southeastern Pennsylvania, officials said.
Film Commissioner Gino Anthony Pesi said the funding reflects the Shapiro administration's push to strengthen the state's creative economy and expand job opportunities tied to film and television production.
