López is the writer and director of the Mexican film Tigers Are Not Afraid (Vuelven), which won a load of awards over the last few years and received praise from Stephen King, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro.
This has been several years in the making, with Lucia Puenzo, Sam Levinson and Nic Pizzolatto taking shots at the franchise's fourth installment. Pizzolatto previously said he had an idea for a fourth season but HBO didn't bite.
