In January 2014, True Detective creator and writer Nic Pizzolatto Pizzolatto signed a two-year contract extension with HBO, effectively renewing the series for two additional seasons. Much like its predecessor, season two of True Detective will consist of eight episodes, all to be written by Pizzolatto. However, the responsibility of directing will be assigned to several people; Justin Lin is in control of the first two episodes, and HBO has released the first trailer for Season 2.
True Detective starring Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch premieres June 21.
