True Detective: Night Country in Development at HBO

Fantastic news for True Detective lovers! Season 4 is in early development at HBO and according to THR, Issa Lopez (Tigers Are Not Afraid) is on board to write. They also note that, “Should season four move forward — it’s currently in development — Lopez would direct the pilot in addition to serving as an exec producer.” Barry Jenkins has also been linked to the project as an executive producer.

To say we're pumped would be an understatement. The first season was incredible and in our opinion, season 2 doesn't get anywhere near the respect that it deserved. Severely underrated and totally effective, it was worth watching on release and still is today. Season 3 also didn't disappoint and despite a slower approach and delivery, it served up another fantastic cast who absolutely nailed their roles, and the story.

One difference to note is that creator Nic Pizzolatto will not be back. "Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are expected to return as executive producers as they had been on all three previous seasons." So as much as it'll suck to not have the original showrunner, maybe some new blood can inject a new POV and keep this Emmy Award-winning series on the front lines of the crime drama scene.
