Up until now little information for the highly anticipated second series of True Detective has been available aside from a few cast names. But HBO have released a synopsis and the first teaser trailer has dropped and in true TD style it’s left us with lots of questions and very few answers.
“A bizarre murder brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California. Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial City of Vinci, LA County. Vince Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work, while his wife and closest ally (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own. Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves, while Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol who discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars.”
Nic Pizzolatto is back helming and writing the series and it’s been confirmed that Justin Lin (of Fast and Furious) will be directing the first two episodes.
True Detective Season 2 will premiere on 21st June 2015 on HBO
