In the future, HBO plans to broadcast the fifth season of “True Detective”. Given that we’re still in the dark about the cast and plot details, it seems this release might occur after 2025’s TV schedule has ended. The storyline is rumored to have tenuous links with “Night Country”, but beyond that, specifics remain unknown. Even though Hollywood legend Matthew McConaughey may be tuning in, it’s uncertain if he’ll appreciate it as much as the first season.
Reflecting on my own experiences, the supernatural-infused premiere season of “True Detective” was an incredible triumph for HBO, and the captivating performances by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson ignited a trend of A-list actors transitioning to television. Now, preparing for my first live-action role in six years in the 2025 film “The Rivals of Amziah King”, I spoke with Variety about my journey in the small screen realm. When asked if I’ve had a chance to watch Issa López’s “True Detective: Night Country”, I shared my thoughts:
I observed, I came across it. Indeed, there were many aspects about it that I admired. Among all the seasons, my personal favorite – and I believe I can say this impartially – is Season 1. Given that I was part of it, I found that experience simply astonishing, truly exceptional television, and a remarkable series.
In the review for Interstellar, the critic didn’t specifically mention what he admired about the show, which was Jodie Foster’s first major television lead role. Instead, he gave a general praise and shifted his focus to HBO’s hit series’ initial season of eleven years ago. There’s as little modesty in his approach as there is scented soap found within Rust Cohle’s residence.
Beyond that point, instead, he continued to heap even more accolades on his accomplishments, although his tone suggested more a playful tease than an arrogant boast. (In other words, it’s important to note that his demeanor was more jocular than excessively self-congratulatory.) In his own terms:
Every week, just like many others, I tuned in on Sunday evenings for a captivating experience. It was a momentous occasion that I relished, and I savored every second of it. The conversations around the water cooler on Monday mornings were always intriguing. Despite being part of its creation, I often found myself guessing what would transpire next. It ranked among the most memorable television events.
It’s just as enjoyable to listen to Matthew McConaughey praising himself and his Season 1 co-stars for bringing Nic Pizzolatto’s first storyline to life, because it reflects how many viewers feel too. I find it hard to imagine that there are more people who would disagree with him than those who would agree.
The first season combined an engaging murder mystery with an array of peculiar elements, making it impossible to turn away even if every exposition was delivered by McConaughey’s character during his police interview. With the added brilliance of the cast and Cary Fukunaga’s exceptional direction, this season set an extremely high standard for anthology series that remains unmatched to this day.

With a Max subscription, you can now watch all four seasons. I believe there are valid points for arguing that Season 3 matches the first one in some aspects, largely due to an outstanding performance by Mahershala Ali. However, Season 2 seemed overly burdened by its own R-rated grimness, and the narrative of Night Country felt a bit aimless and repetitive, failing to surpass other seasons.
However, regardless of other aspects, Season 4 has undeniably gifted us with an expression as easily recited as Season 1’s “Time is a flat circle.” What I’m referring to, of course, is the phrase that Jodie Foster’s character, Liz Danvers, frequently uses during investigations – a phrase that could be considered an opposite mantra: “The truth is out there.
You’re asking the wrong questions!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Matthew McConaughey might return to television for another season of “True Detective”, though he may not be playing the same mustached, chain-smoking character we’re familiar with. As long as there’s no official Season 5 cast list stating he won’t be part of it, I’ll keep hoping it could happen.
