The True Detective television saga is returning for a brand-new season. The new iteration, titled True Detective: Night Country, stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. Now fans can see the two in action with the all-new True Detective: Night Country teaser trailer shared below.
Fans have been eager for a new installment of True Detective. The first season premiered on HBO in 2014. Though it was followed with two additional seasons that didn’t quite muster the same positive reception – this certainly looks like a step in the right direction. Especially as it’s set to premiere on Max – the newly-branded successor to HBO Max.
Here’s the first official teaser trailer for True Detective: Night Country:
The plot synopsis for the new season is as follows:
“The series is centered around Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro who are looking to solve the case of six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanishing without a trace, when the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska.
“The pair will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”
As mentioned, this new season definitely looks like a return to form for the series. It’s unknown if Night Country will hit viewers the same way the original season of the series did. But with talent like Jodie Foster involved – it certainly has a good chance.
The new season was penned by Issa López. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are attached to return as executive producers with Foster also executive producing. Night Country will be the first season of the show to exclude the involvement of series creator Nic Pizzolatto.
In addition to Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, the cast of the new season includes John Hawkes, Christopher Eccleston, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, and Anna Lambe.
