HBO/YouTube

• HBO aired the first trailer for “True Detective” season
  three on Sunday night.
• The new season, its first since 2015, stars Oscar
  winner Mahershala Ali and takes place in the Ozarks. Like the
  first season, the story will span decades. 
• It already looks more promising than season
  two.

HBO aired the first trailer for season three of “True Detective”
on Sunday night during the series finale of its summer
miniseries, “Sharp Objects.”

Season three of “True Detective” is set to premiere in January
2019. It stars Oscar winner Mahershala Ali (“Moonlight”), Ray
Fisher (“Justice League”), Scoot McNairy (“Halt and Catch Fire”),
Stephen Dorff (“Blade”), and Mamie Gummer (“The Good Wife”).

The third season of the anthology series comes from
Nic Pizzolatto, who created the show and wrote the
first two seasons. David Milch, creator of “Deadwood,” co-wrote
the fourth episode of season three. The first season of “True
Detective” premiered to high critical acclaim in 2014. The second
season, which premiered in 2015, was highly anticipated but a
huge disappointment to critics and audiences. While the first
season has a 86% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the second
season only has a 63%.

The third season of the series will take place in the
Ozarks and span decades, as did season one.
