Season 2

Colin Farrell (Golden Globe winner for “In Bruges”) plays Ray Velcoro, a troubled detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him. Vince Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers”) portrays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner. Rachel McAdams (“Midnight in Paris”) plays Ani Bezzerides, a sheriff’s detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves. Taylor Kitsch (HBO’s “The Normal Heart”) portrays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and a highway patrol motorcycle officer, running from a difficult past and the sudden glare of a scandal that never happened.

Season 1

[Show spoiler]

HBO series will star McConaughey and Harrelson as a pair of detectives trying to solve a murder.

“True Detective,” the drama series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, will premiere in January, a spokeswoman for the network told TheWrap on Thursday.

The series, which is written by Nic Pizzolatto (“The Killing”) and directed by Cary Fukunaga (“Jane Eyre”), stars McConaughey and Harrelson as detectives Rust Cohle and Martin Hart, respectively. The detectives’ paths cross as they both try to solve a 17-year-old murder mystery in Louisiana.

The eight-episode first season begins with the 1995 murder and picks up years later when the case is reopened. Further seasons would introduce new stories and characters, along the lines of what FX has done with its anthology series “American Horror Story.”

A trailer for “True Detective” will premiere on HBO on Sunday, prior to the season premiere of “Boardwalk Empire.”

Sounds good, but slightly disappointed that it sounds like the first season will likely be the only season with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

Did you get that vibe from the article or somewhere else?

Excellent sounding series. I love the rebirth of McConaughey's career. The dude is really showing his talent.

HBO has definitely been coming out with some good stuff, so this one is probably worth keeping an eye on...

[iSeeinBlu]

I thought I read an article about a month or so ago that stated each season would deal with new detectives and a different investigation for each season. At least that was what the creators of the show had in mind at the time. Things as always could change between now and then.

The article. It says that each following season would be like American Horror Story in regards to story and characters.

I wonder if that is just peripheral characters or the mains too?

I was going by the American Horror Story reference. Even though I don't watch the show, I know the majority of the main characters are different each season. I guess that's something we'll have to wait to find out for sure though.

I'm not sure how well that would work angled about the same crime.

Well, a lot of the main characters of AHS do return each season, just as different people. But this show is sounding like they will be completely different anyways. McConaughey is in a bit of a hot streak right now which a lot of critically respected movies and Harrelson is doing pretty great also so I don't really think they would commit to a series for multiple years.

It looks like there are a bunch of heavy issues percolating besides the straightforward "detectives-work-a-case" story. Looks good.

[R3P0]

Wow HBO is making me want it again

[menaceuk]

I think this looks awesome. If McConaughey can hit the acting he does in MUD then we in for a treat

[Noahishere]

I just ordered HBO back specifically for Boardwalk and Eastbound, this is just icing on the cake!

[kevinbellamy]

Shit, this looks amazing.

[Akijama]

Yup, I'm there

[silversnake]

With those two I can't see this being bad. Excited
