HBO Wants to Make Another Season of “True Detective”

 Mahershala Ali starrer “True Detective Season 3” ended on February the 24th, 2021, a few months before the final season of Game of Thrones also bid farewell to the streaming service HBO. Since then, HBO is itching to create a series, which can pull the audience in gigantic numbers, and they really want to bank on the success of Game of Thrones and True Detective.

Now, a recent report, also published by a very reliable Deadline, has alluded to the fact that the giant streaming house HBO is currently in talks with some credible writers to find a new script or a voice for the violent crime show.


A fourth season of the fabled modern show “True Detective,” which may be considered the second-best franchise during the last decade, might be re-launched for another season as the top streaming service, currently owning the franchise, are in conversation with some credible writers to find a story for the re-launch. 

The show was created by Nic Pizzolatto, and it did have a run on the streaming service for three seasons spanning five years, i.e., 2014 to 2019.

It was clear from Casey Bloys’ statement to Deadline that HBO is still not done with True Detective and is anticipating that the streaming company will figure out a way to get the series back. 

Right now, their task is to find writers, who can deliver a good script, and Casey Bloys’ did suggest the fact that the company is in communication with multiple writers to find the right pitch and tone for the story. 

Bloys also added that the company wants to move away from the old voice and wants to find a new way of telling a crime story. Casey Bloys also added that the script should not only be of high-quality but should also be creative enough. HBO does not want to make another True Detective season just for the sake of it. 

Bloys did not validate the rumors, but there are some reports emerging on the internet, which suggests the fact that Lucia Puenzo, who is credited with the creation of an Argentina-based drama show “Cromo, and Sam Levinson are the ones that have been busy with the ideas about the fourth season. 

The third season of True Detective debuted on HBO in January of 2019 and ended in February of 2019. The series starred Moonlight and House of Cards actor Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff in the leading roles. The series was set in the Ozarks and was a slight improvement on the massive dip in quality in the second season, which saw Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, and Vince Vaughn in the leading roles.

Of course, the second season had almost an impossible comparison of Season 1 to deal with. The first season is so philosophically rich that it has been considered a masterpiece by many. The two protagonists Rustin Cohle (played by Matthew McConaughey) and Marty (played by Woody Harrelson), have etched their names in the list of modern pop-culture icons.  McConaughey’s character Rustin Cohle attained unfathomable accolades and has been considered the best performance of McConaughey’s career (even surpassing Dallas Buyers Club), if not the best character of the entire HBO’s history.
