‘True Detective’ Season 2 Has 4 ‘Central Roles’; Casting News Soon

slide

It came as little surprise yesterday when season one of HBO’s True Detective was awarded multiple Emmy nominations, including for its leads Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, director Cary Fukunaga, and writer/creator Nic Pizzolatto. Of those four individuals, however, only Pizzolatto is involved with development on season two; details concerning the show’s sophomore season are still hard to come, though it appears that Pizzolatto’s plan for the series’ next phase is beginning to take solid form.

In an interview from about two months ago, Pizzolatto said True Detective season two is shaping up to have three main characters, though it wasn’t long after when claims emerged about the first script of season two having just one lead.

Pizzolatto, when he spoke yesterday with The Daily Beastafter the Emmy nods were announced, claimed that the primary cast member count for this new season has now “ballooned a little bit” and is up to four “central roles”total. Mind you, that doesn’t guarantee True Detectiveseason 2 will devote equal attention to its four central players; in season one, for example, Michelle Monaghan arguably had a “central role” in the proceedings, yet she very much played second-fiddle to McConaughey and Harrelson.

In addition, Pizzolatto has backed away from his previous claim that True Detectiveseason two is about “the secret occult history of the United States transportation system,” having told Daily Beast that “I would actually just stick with ‘set in California’,” as far as descriptions of season two are concerned. However, Pizzolatto did comment on what he feels will be the thematic connective tissue between seasons of True Detective.
