EW reports that True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto has written at least the first two episodes of a potential season 3.
True Detective season 1 was the network’s biggest success since the debut of Game of Thrones, and was a magnet for award nominations and critical accolades.
Unfortunately, summer 2015’s True Detective season 2 ended up being the definition of a sophomore slump, drawing widespread critical derision and lots of social media chatter about how underwhelming the series’ increasingly-convoluted second act ended up being.
In today’s incredibly fast-paced pop culture world, it almost feels like it’s been ages since True Detective arrived on HBO in January 2014, and proceeded to take the TV landscape by storm.
