That said, HBO programming head Casey Bloys announced in July that he’d read five scripts for True Detective Season 3.
Hopefully the long break between seasons of True Detective has allowed Nic Pizzolatto and Co. to plot out another fantastic mystery to keep audiences on the edges of their seats once more.
Given that Seasons 1 and 2 both received orders for eight episodes, I won’t be surprised if Season 3 will also run for eight episodes.
