Over HBO True detective anthology series, each season has told self-contained stories that don’t connect to each other at all other than by title and tone. But it looks like that might actually change with next season, True Detective: Night Country.
Showrunner Issa López some direct connections to previous seasons of the series have recently been announced. This would confirm that all the stories told are set in the same universe. He also hinted that there were connections to the more supernatural aspects of the first season. He shared this insight with Entertainment Weekly, saying:
“There are Easter eggs that you’ll find everywhere and there’s one very, very important thing in episode 6 that you’ll discover over time. It’s its own story, but it’s still connected. The spiral is there, the way that there are those dark and ancient gods (maybe yes, maybe not) who work behind the scenes. It’s the same universe.”
The first season of True Detective was definitely its best and it will be interesting to see how the next season ends up connecting to that. I’m especially curious about that “big, big thing” in episode 6.
López joked: “HBO, you guys are incredible in how you trust a crazy Mexican. They were like, ‘You can do it. Whatever you want.’ Which is terrifying, it’s the worst thing.” She added:
“I won’t follow the format and I won’t follow the way it’s shot. I follow the idea and the aesthetic of this world behind them, and I constantly come back to show you the universe, the world “Where it’s set, which is so unique. This corner of the north, forgotten by the world, Alaska. Which I kept. And then the other thing that I thought was brilliant was two characters in a car trying to decipher how the universe works.” and their souls.”
The description for the new season reads: “When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who run the Tsalal Arctic research station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, detective Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) must face their past and the dark truths that lie beneath the Arctic ice.”
It’s also in the cast Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, Isabella Star Lablanc, Aka Niviâna, Anna Lambe, Joel D. Montgrand, Christopher Eccleston AND John Hawkes.
True Detective: Night Country will debut on HBO in January 2024.
