After months of rumours, HBO has finally confirmed season three of True Detective has been greenlit, the broadcaster revealing numerous previously unknown details.
Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali — who was revealed to have taken the lead role months ago — will play state police state detective Northwest Arkansas.
New information includes the location, the series taking place in the Ozarks — a location that was recently explored in the Netflix series Ozark.
“I’m tremendously thrilled to be working with artists at the level of Mahershala and Jeremy,” the showrunner said.
