Personally speaking, I seem to have dug the second season of HBO’s “True Detective” more than most, but there’s no denying the first season was masterful television while the second was just pretty alright. The series returns for a third season next year, and HBO provided us with our first look tonight courtesy of a minute-long teaser trailer.
The good news? It feels a lot more like Season 1 than Season 2.
“Season 3 tells the story of a macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks, and a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods.”
The new season’s cast includes Mahershala Ali, Scoot McNairy, Stephen Dorff, Carmen Ejogo, Mamie Gummer, Rhys Wakefield, Ray Fisher, Sarah Gadon, Emily Nelson, Michael Greyeyes, Brandon Flynn, Michael Graziadei and Jon Tenney.
The third season arrives on HBO in January 2019.
