It’s been far too long since Nic Pizzolatto‘s groundbreaking ‘True Detective‘ has been in our lives; the struggle without Rust and Marty is achingly real.
The long-awaited second instalment of True D is now officially upon us: phasers may now appropriately be set to Keen and apps counting down to June 21, 2015 may be initialised. True Detective Season 2 is here, you guys, and it looks phenomenal.
We learn precious little from the 60 second teaser trailer released today; however all major characters — Rachel McAdams as Ani Bezzerides, Colin Farrell as Ray Velcro, and Vince Vaughn as Frank Semyon are introduced with their respective poisons, as well as the requisite sprawling landscape (LA, this time) and bleak bars.
HBO also unveiled a more detailed synopsis. As such:
A bizarre murder brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California. Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial City of Vinci, LA County. Vince Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work, while his wife and closest ally (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own. Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves, while Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol who discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars.
Well, alright alright alright.
