15 Most Hotly Anticipated Returning TV Shows Of 2019

6. True Detective

True Detective Season 3
HBO

After three-and-a-half years away, True Detective finally returns to HBO this month. Even with changing schedules, that's a long time out of the game, and yet it might be the best thing possible for the series.

The show suffered when it was rushed back for a second season, and the time away has hopefully allowed creator Nic Pizzolatto to craft a much stronger story. He's certainly got the right man for the job, with Mahershala Ali cast in the lead role as Detective Wayne Hays.

The new case takes place in the Ozarks and takes place in three different time periods, following the disappearance of two children, which should allow for True Detective to get back to telling a great mystery.
