True Detective Season 2 Trailer: 10 Things You Need To Know
3. Kelly Reilly As Jordan Semyon
Not long after all that stuff gets introduced (visually, anyway), the teaser moves onto its other female lead, who is almost certainly on the wrong side of the law. Provided she knows what her husband does for a living, anyway. Kelly Reilly plays Jordan Semyon, and hopefully she won't be as underused as Michelle Monaghan in the first season, because she's a damn fine actress as anybody who saw her work in Flight or Calvary can attest to. Reilly's character is described as Vaughn's wife and closest ally, who struggles with his choices and her own. Mrs Semyon is a a former D-list actress who is a full partner in his enterprises and ambitions, with that fading starlet look very much in the fancy ball gown and make up she's dolled herself up in for her husband's presentation in the teaser. Jordan isn't one of the four leads that's an honour saved for the three cops and Frank Semyon, who's being investigated by them but expect her to still play a major role in the season. After all, she's been highlighted here for a reason, and what self-respecting D-list actress hasn't dabbled with weird sex and the occult at some point to try and improve her career prospects, eh?
