Good news, True Detective fans! HBO is bringing back your favorite gritty crime drama for a fifth season, hot on the heels of the fourth season’s triumphant finish.
The genius behind Season 4, Issa López, is set to run the show again. And guess what? She’s struck a shiny new deal with HBO, meaning we’ll be seeing more of her storytelling magic on HBO and Max. Now, that’s a win-win!
Francesca Orsi, HBO’s bigwig, couldn’t stop singing López’s praises. And why not? López’s True Detective: Night Country was a knockout, setting new records with a whopping 12.7 million viewers tuning in.
The critics fell head over heels too. The Ringer called it the “first can’t-miss show of 2024,” and Rolling Stone touted it as a must-see mystery. And let’s not forget New York Magazine, which raved about the “powerhouse performances.”
And, of course, we’ve been all over the show. We’ve been tracking every twist and turn of True Detective: Night Country, and are stoked to see what López has in store for us in Season 5. Read Julian’s review and Sherin’s feature or all about the CCA SOFFE Seal of Excellence win.
