Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson led the cast of that ground-breaking first season, while Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Colin Farrell appeared in season 2 back in 2015. There will be a three year gap between the second and third seasons with the next instalment set to air later in the year.
As with previous the series, True Detective will probably air on Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom around the same time as the U.S. air date. More as it comes our way.
