True Detective Season 2 Cast Could Feature a McConaughey Return
The True Detective season 2 cast could feature Matthew McConaughey.
In a recent interview with Deadline he confessed that his stance on not returning for another season has changed.
"If HBO had wanted an option on me for a season two or three, I wouldn't have done it," he said.
I wouldn't have walked into something where they could say, 'We've got you for the next three years," he said.

His experience with the show seems to have altered that mindset.
"I liked True Detective, the whole series and the experience of making it, so much that I'd be open to doing another one now," continued McConaughey. "At the time, I was looking at six months and not beyond that. I don't know of a feature film I'd sign for where I'm going to say, if this works, you've got me whenever you want me for the next three years."
"True Detective" season 2 will feature 3 lead characters, according to the show's writer Nic Pizzolatto.
During an interview with public radio program "To the Best of Our Knowledge," he revealed some of the plans for the follow-up to last year's explosive season.
"We're working with three leads. It takes place in California – not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues in California and we're going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one," he said.
He also discussed the change in characters.
"The characters are all new, but I'm deeply in love with each of them. We've got the entire series broken out with a couple of scripts, and we'll probably start casting in earnest in the coming months," Pizzolatto added.
Pizzolatto first hinted in an interview with Buzzfeed earlier this year that the second season might take place in southern California.
When asked about what other long-term stories he could write for the next one he revealed a possible location.
"Oh, all kinds of conspiracies suggest themselves," he said. "Especially if, like me, you've been reading about the last 40 years of southern California government."
