HBO Developing Season 4 Of True Detective With Barry Jenkins Among Exec Producers
Variety is reporting that HBO is developing a fourth season of “True Detective.” The new season is currently titled “True Detective: Night Country.” The plot is largely being kept under wraps, but sources say that it would take place in the Arctic, where night can last more than 24 hours. It is also believed that the season would feature two female leads. No casting is confirmed at this time.
Issa López is attached to serve as writer and executive producer on the new season in addition to directing the pilot. Barry Jenkins, Adele Romanski, and Mark Ceryak of Pastel will also executive produce. Pastel is currently under a first-look deal at HBO and HBO Max. Anonymous Content, which has produced past seasons of the show, and several other executive producers from past seasons are expected to board the project as well.
Season 3 of the show, starring Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff, aired in 2019. Season 2 aired in 2015, with Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch leading the cast. The initial season starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, ran in 2014.
López has previously written, produced, and directed films like “Todo Mal,” “Tigers Are Not Afraid,” and “Three Sundays” among others. It was reported in February that she will write, produce, and direct the feature “The Girl With a Thousand Names” for HBO Max.
