- True Detective season three has officially been picked up by HBO and will star Mahershala Ali. No other actors have been confirmed.
- Mahershala will play Wayne Hays, a state police detective from Northwest Arkansas.
- The season will resemble season one: "The next installment of “True Detective” 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."
- Season three will be at least partially directed by Nic Pizzolatto and Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room). Pizzolatto, True Detective's showrunner, has no directing experience. God forbid they hire a woman.
- Nic Pizzolatto has written every script for season three except for episode four, which he co-wrote with “Deadwood” creator David Milch.
- HBO is really excited about this season.
