“From conception to release, Night Country has been the most beautiful collaboration and adventure of my entire creative life,” Lopez said recently in a statement following the show’s success. “HBO trusted my vision all the way, and the idea of bringing to life a new incarnation of True Detective with Casey, Francesca, and the whole team is a dream come true. I can’t wait to go again.” She added.

Where to stream True Detective?

The show is streaming on HBO. For those looking for an alternative, the anthology is also streaming on Max.

Is there any order to watch True Detective

As an anthology series, each chapter and season of the show presents standalone stories, so it’s not necessary to watch them in order. However, since they all exist within the same universe, watching in sequence can provide clarity on minor details and enhance your overall viewing experience, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.

With Issa López leading the next installment, fans may not have to wait as long for the new season to arrive.
