After Season One of HBO’s Greatest Series of All-Time True Detective, it’s definitely up high, there was initial confusion over whether we’d continue with the same characters but, thankfully, creator Nic Pizzolatto confirmed quickly that it’d be a whole new cast and story and from this first trailer? It’s wrapped in beautiful darkness, just like we’d hoped.
I’m a huge fan of actors being cast against type and almost everyone here has been chosen for the talent and some that don’t always shine as they should, I’m looking at you Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch, but now is the time for redemption as we head into True Detective: Season Two.
This teaser shows a mustachioed Colin Farrell looking brilliantly mean, plus a little insight into the characters via the visual medium. We’ll get to see the aforementioned few plus the equally excellent Kelly Reilly and Rachel McAdams. Thankfully, there’s no giveaways in such a short snippet but this will do me until it hits the small screen later this year.
Watch now:
True Detective airs with HBO on June 21st in North America and we’ll hope it’s the same time here in the UK. Directors for S2 include Justin Lin, Janus Metz Pedersen, Miguel Sapochnik and Daniel Attias.
