What Can We Expect from Season Five ofTrue Detective?
Almost nothing is known about theTrue Detectiveseason 5 cast, plot, or release date, as the renewal is still fresh off the press. But given the history of the program and the news that Issa López is returning, some assumptions regarding the fifth season can be made with confidence.
Well, every season since the show’s debut in 2014 has followed two mismatched detectives withsinister pasts as they investigate eerily intricate crimes; season 5 ought to continue this trend. AlthoughJodie Fosterand Kali Reis might not return, the show should still draw A-list actors because each season has brought in a fresh cast.
Though they were not necessary to the story, the references to Rust Cohle, Carcosa, and the Tuttle family fromTrue Detective: Night Countrywere included to keep the show in line with the shared universe. Also, the return of López, who served as executive producer and wrote and directed all six episodes ofNight Country, suggests that she will remain deeply involved on all fronts.
