A lot of people would agree that no subsequent season of HBO’s True Detective has come close to replicating the magic of the first season starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Earlier in May, creator Nic Pizzolato had mentioned in an interview on the “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast that he is circling an idea featuring the two, but hasn’t written it down. Conaughey had also expressed an interest in doing it if the script is good enough to meet Harrelson’s approval.
Harrelson has firmly ruled out a reunion with McConaughey for True Detectiveciting fears of “tarnishing” the original season. He stated, “In fairness, never. No chance… Because it turned out great. I love that it turned out the way it did, and if anything, doing another season would, I think, tarnish that.”
Earlier, McConaughey told Variety that he would return if the script had the first one’s “fire and originality,” and added, “We nailed that first season. But if it’s a script like that first one, with that fire and originality, I’d do it. And you talk about monologues. Well, Rust Cohle had a monologue. He talked about everything that was inside him, and he didn’t care if you were listening or not. There’s freedom in that.”
Meanwhile, Harrelson is looking forward to the release of the third film in the Now You See Me film series. McConaughey was recently seen in the Apple TV original The Lost Busin which he played a real-life bus driver who rescued a group of kids amid a raging wildfire.
The second season of True Detective featured Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch; the third and fourth seasons were led by Mahershala Ali and Jodie Foster, respectively.
