True Detective never quite recaptured the magic (not to mention the enormous hype) of its first season on HBO, the one with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey that basically launched the McConaissance. The subsequent seasons got a lot of press, but they didn’t generate the same level of conversation or ratings.
But ea...
It just wouldn’t be True Detective without some behind-the-scenes drama. Following late Friday reports that director Jeremy Saulnier had left the project, new details suggest that creator Nic Pizzolatto may have clashed with Saulnier over tone.
Not even a year from its premiere, and True Detective Season 3 already has a body count. Reports indicate director Jeremy Saulnier has stepped away after only a handful of episodes, and will be replaced by an Americans favorite.
True Detective is about to get a serious upgrade to its Justice department. Cyborg himself, Ray Fisher, has joined the Season 3 cast in a regular role alongside a number of other familiar faces.
HBO is becoming a Streep family business. Weeks after the network confirmed Meryl Streep will make an Emmy-gobbling return for Big Little Lies Season 2, True Detective has now added her daughter Mamie Gummer to the Season 3 ranks for a likely 2019 premiere.
Man, and we thought Westworld and Atlanta delaying new episodes until 2018 was bad. Now True Detective has joined the ranks of our favorite shows delayed until at least 2019, along with Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and more.
