Sunday March 9, 2014 marked the end of the season for True Detective, the biggest HBO TV drama this year. The last episode made viewers hold on to their seats in the 17-year-old puzzling murder case of Dora Lange. The first season of the series had attracted enthusiastic followers in its first two episodes, as the main characters put pieces together to get hints and leads to find out the nature of the mysteries linked to Lange's death. With the end of the first season, True Detective fans have been keen to find out details about Season 2. While HBO has not given any official release details, the rumor says it will be released sometime in 2015.

Director Nic Pizzolatto has confirmed that Season 2 will have radical changes. First is that the new season will not be essentially based on the same story line. Season 2 will have a different story every week. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, the lead stars of True Detective, are not going to be included in Season 2 at all. Although the success of the TV series can be attributed to these two actors, who played partners on the show, a number of people were not shocked with the announcement since this allegedly was the arrangement since the start of the show.

Brad Pitt's name has been emerging as one of the likely actors who can replace McConaughey. There were also reports that Season 2 of True Detective will have a female lead. Season 2 will feature two directors. Director Cary Fukunaga of Season 1 admitted that directing the series alone was quite tough. He is required to spend so much time attending to specific aspects that, with another director working with him, Fukunaga said that his workload will be reduced.

The naturalistic approach will be retained on Season 2. It was disclosed that the creators want to present a more stress-free atmosphere while maintaining the mystery and excitement of the show. We hope fans can expect more action and mysteries that need to be cleared up.
