According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO has officially greenlit True Detective Season 3, and have set critically acclaimed filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin, Green Room) to co-direct alongside series creator Nic Pizzolatto.
The first two seasons of True Detective were a ratings success, but the second season had some trouble living up to the critical acclaim of season one.
Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight, Luke Cage) will lead the new season as state police detective Wayne Hays of Northwest Arkansas.
