Debuting way back in 2014, True Detective become a phenomenon thanks to its central mystery, Louisiana setting, gorgeous direction, and of course the A-list pairing of Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. It was an idea that creator/writer Nic Pizzolatto had spent years crafting, but Season 2 was rushed into development and arrived just a year-and-a-half later - and that showed.

The second season had seemingly killed the series, but HBO announced last year a Season 3 was happening. Even better is that Mahershala Ali is set to star, joined by Carmen Ejogo and Stephen Dorff, with Green Room's Jeremy Saulnier directing alongside Pizzolatto.

The new season will be set in the Ozarks and centre on a mystery that deepens over three decades. There's no official word on a release date, but since it hasn't yet entered production the odds are it won't arrive until early 2019
