Related:True Detective Confirms Popular Rust Cohle Theory Linking Seasons 4 and 1 Let's go back to the time before the premiere of the third season of True Detective, the one with Mahershala Ali. That's when Pizzolatto revealed to the media that he has a crazy idea for the fourth season. However, he abandoned this concept after talking to a certain actor. Casey Bloys, president of HBO, commented on this situation in 2019, saying that since the creator of True Detective had an idea for the next season, he would be happy to talk to him about it, but there was no need to rush. As it turned out, however, postponing the idea essentially prevented its implementation, because in 2020 Nic Pizzolatto signed a contract with Fox and FX Productions, which meant that he could not later be involved in the work on the next installment of True Detective. HBO started work on the fourth season in 2021, so it had to let other writers with new ideas do the work, including: Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and writer and director Lucia Puenzo. Ultimately, HBO decided to greenlight the series, which was titled Night Country. The showrunner, writer and director of the show is Issa Lopez, and the executive producers are Barry Jenkins, Adele Romanski, Mark Ceryak and Nic Pizzolatto, who for the first time in the history of the series did not participate in writing the script. The fourth season of True Detective will debut on HBO Max on Monday, January 15. And here you will find our review of Night Country, which is close to the level of the amazing first season.
