Based on the teaser trailer we got a few months back, it looked like HBO was going back to the spirit of the standout first season with the upcoming third season of “True Detective,” which has us incredibly excited about the show’s return. After all, even if Season 2 wasn’t as bad as many made it out to be, it was certainly a far cry from the brilliance of Season 1.
Check out the full trailer for Season 3 below, which again feels very “Season 1.”
HBO will premiere the new season on Sunday, January 13, 2019.
“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.
