To that end, the network has recruited Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier, who will hopefully inject the show with the same expertly crafted, nightmarish tension that made his 2016 cult horror film such a compellingly upsetting watch. As previously reported, Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali will take on the lead role in the crime anthology’s latest outing, playing a Nebraska state police detective by the name of Wayne Hays.Īccording to The Hollywood Reporter, the network was holding back on giving the show a new season until it could line up a director to help Pizzolatto-who will continue to write every episode of the new season save one (which is being handled by Deadwood’s David Milch)-keep a third season from turning into the interesting-but-overly-complicated mess that was True Detective season 2. But I’m officially losing my mind with excitement, now that the director of motherfucking Green Room is helming the season.Ĭursing the comedy writers of the world to come up with yet more variants on their old “time is a flat circle” jokes, HBO has officially given the green light to a third season of Nic Pizzolatto’s True Detective.
AV CLUB DEADWOOD SEASON 3 SERIES
Bad thing is the series left a few things hanging, but did a pretty good job of wrapping mst things up. As in the first season, things are still rough and brutal, (i.e., the language) so dont think they all became politically correct. A frustrating new character causes trouble, but Laura Linney saves the day. Holy shit. Mahershala Ali starring in a third season of True Detective was enough to get me excited at the prospect of the show returning. The continuing saga of the Deadwood bunch.
