The first season of True Detective remains one of my all-time favourite television experiences. The gripping story of Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) was unforgettable, and series creator Nic Pizzolatto revealed on the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast<\/a> that he has an idea for a new story which could bring them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually have another story for Cohle and Hart that \u2014 who knows? \u2014 maybe we\u2019ll do it one day,\u201d Pizzolatto said. \u201cIt\u2019s character-based again. \u2026 But it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve written or anything. It\u2019s just, I had that in my head. And we\u2019ve talked about getting back together and doing it, and I think the guys are open to it. It\u2019s just a question of whether that would ever happen or not.\u201c<\/p>\n

Could we see another season of True Detective with McConaughey and Harrelson? In theory, anything\u2019s possible \u2014 but the real question is, should it happen? That first season was so exceptional that any follow-up would need to be nothing short of extraordinary just to measure up.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year<\/a>, McConaughey said the first season is still his favourite. \u201cMy favorite season \u2014 and I feel like I can say this objectively \u2014 is Season 1,\u201d he said. \u201cI happen to be in that one, so I thought that was incredible, incredible television and a great series. I watched it weekly, like everyone else, on Sunday night, and that was an event for me. And I got to sit back and enjoy that. I loved the water cooler talk on Monday morning. Even though I made it, I sort of forgot what was going to happen next. It was one of the great events in TV.\u201d Indeed it was.<\/p>\n

Although Pizzolatto was behind the first three seasons of True Detective, his HBO contract expired, and the network turned to Issa L\u00f3pez to develop a new season. True Detective: Night Country felt like a return to form, and HBO quickly signed L\u00f3pez for another season. HBO\u2019s Head of Drama Series and Film, Francesca Orsi, said the new season<\/a> will be \u201cset in New York, in Jamaica Bay. Issa has a lot to say, not unlike she did with Night Country. It\u2019s a different milieu but just as powerful.\u201d Production is expected to kick off later this year, but it isn\u2019t expected to premiere until 2027.<\/p>\n
