4. Colin Farrell And Taylor Kitsch In Talks For True Detective Season 2
HBONic Pizzolato has a lot to prove with True Detective's second season. Not only does he have to prove that the critically lauded first season wasn't just lightning in a bottle, but he has to top the casting of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson (who both just earned Best Actor Emmy nominations for their roles), while living up to the high expectations that the #TrueDetectiveSeason2 meme created. Pizzolatto recently revealed that the second season will actually have
four central characters, and now we may have faces for two of them. Colin Farrel is in talks for one of the lead roles, while Taylor Kitsch is reportedly "among the leading candidates" for the second male lead. There's no announced premiere date for the second season, but chances are HBO wants to strike while the iron is hot and get the ball rolling as soon as possible. That's good news for us, because it means definitive casting decisions are imminent.
