True Detective fans take note: The day that you have been waiting for is coming

After a polarising second season, HBO’s hit crime anthology series, whose first season starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, is preparing season 3.

A third season of True Detective, HBO’s hit anthology series, is being revived after season 2 failed to draw praise like season 1. Creator Nic Pizzolatto is working on a third season with David Milch, creator of HBO’s Deadwood.

The first season of True Detective earned wide acclaim for Pizzolatto, director Cary Fukunaga and stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

The duo are said to be in the early stages of writing a possible third season, which has not yet received a series order, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The news of a potential third season comes nearly two years after the polarizing second season of the drama, which starred Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams.
