“True Detective: Night Country” Hits All Time Ratings High for HBO’s Anthology Series

Published

True Detective Season 4

We’re all in the Night Country now. There’s only one episode left to go to uncover the mysteries of “True Detective: Night Country” and the season has become the HBO anthology series’ most-watched season yet, per The Wrap.

Look for the finale of “True Detective: Night Country” to premiere this Sunday on HBO at 9PM ET, exclusively on Max.

“True Detective: Night Country” has proven to be a massive hit for HBO and the Max streaming service here in 2024, with the viewership rising on a week-to-week basis.

Ahead of its Sunday finale, The Wrap reports that “True Detective: Night Country” has amassed 12.7 million average viewers across multiple platforms, including HBO and Max, according to Nielsen and internal viewing figures from Warner Bros. Discovery. That puts it ahead of the 11.9 million viewers brought in by inaugural season, making it the most watched “True Detective” season yet. On Max, “True Detective: Night Country” continues to rank as the most-watched title on the streaming platform.

From writer/director/showrunner/executive producer Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), “Night Country” stars screen legend Jodie Foster alongside Kali Reis.

“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”

John Hawkes (Deadwood, Winter’s Bone), Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve)Finn Bennett (Domina) and Anna Lambe (Three Pines) also star.

When Bloody Disgusting spoke with Issa López in a recent interview, the showrunner teased some massive connections with season one for the finale: “What I kept about it is that there’s a bunch of winks to the first season, from characters that are related to characters in that first season to the beer they drink to the long drives where the two characters explore their own visions of the universe that are completely opposed, to some things that happen in Episode Six that you will see in time. But it is a love letter, in a way, to all the things that really worked in that first season.”

How will season four end? While we’re days away from finding out, it feels safe to assume that “True Detective: Night Country” will take a bow to more record-breaking viewership numbers.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” Trailer – “Camp Cretaceous” Sequel Kills Off Jenna Ortega’s Character

Published

In the wake of the five-season animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” Netflix’s “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” is stomping its way onto the platform this year.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” premieres May 24, and the series is set six years after the events of “Camp Cretaceous.” Watch the official trailer from Netflix below.

While the other characters from “Camp Cretaceous” are back in the new series, what’s interesting here is that Jenna Ortega’s Brooklynn is not coming back. As the official “Chaos Theory” trailer reveals, Brooklynn was killed off between shows, with the character’s death kickstarting the “conspiracy thriller” events of this brand new Jurassic World sequel series.

Jenna Ortega had voiced Brooklynn for all five seasons of “Camp Cretaceous.”

In the CG-animated series from Universal, DreamWorks and Amblin Entertainment…

“Six years later, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.

“Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”

There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, running 22-minutes each.

Scott Kreamer, Aaron Hammersley serve as Executive Producers and Showrunners, with Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall also serving as Executive Producers.

Speaking of Jurassic World, a brand new live action movie is also coming soon. It doesn’t yet have a title, but it’s releasing July 2, 2025, and Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star.
