IT’S JUST ONE minute long, but the True Detective season two teaser trailer has us VERY excited for June.
We’ve watched it a few times (for research, like), and have scoured the internet for information, so here’s what we know so far about the forthcoming season.
Fasten your seatbelts.
When will it air?
On HBO, on 21 June in the USA. We can expect eight hour-long episodes.
What about Ireland?
Season 1 was broadcast on Sky Atlantic, but there has been no official confirmation from them yet about if it will be the same this time around.
There were only a few weeks between the US and UK/Ireland airing dates last time, so fingers crossed.
Who’s in it?
Not Matthew McConaughey and his lovely blazers, that’s for sure.
Sigh.
Sorry, where was I?
Oh, right. Here’s the main cast:
Where is it set?
California.
What’s the theme song this time around?
So long, the great Handsome Family.
With T Bone Burnett as music supervisor, the song choices are always top notch here.
This latest song is a bit of a mystery, though the Arden Concert Gild claims that it is performed by country singer Lera Lynn…
If you Google the song lyrics, you get nada.
What’s that necklace Colin Farrell’s character is wearing?
It’s called a Bolo Tie, and it’s associated with the American West, and sometimes with Native American silversmiths.
The bolo tie was made the official neckwear of Arizona back in 1971.
A key to Velcoro’s past or his motivations? Or just a hint that he’s a fan of silver-and-leather decorative neckwear?
Who wrote and directed this season?
The series creator Nic Pizzolatto is back, and Cary Fukunaga (the first season’s director) is an executive producer.
Justin Lin directed the first two episodes. He’s also the guy behind the camera for the Fast and Furious movies…
But what’s it going to be about?
Looks like a move away from the supernatural elements (Carcosa! The Yellow King! Voodoo!) of the first season, and instead a focus on a murder, criminals, a dark underworld, sex and money.
Standard.
Says HBO:
A bizarre murder brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California.
Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial City of Vinci, LA County. Vince Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work, while his wife and closest ally (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own.
Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves, while Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol who discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars.
Last year, HBO executives said that the first two scripts of the new season are “more exciting than the first season”.
According to MoviePilot (which could be absolutely wrong about this, but we’ll soon see):
I heard there will be an orgy scene in it
According to leaks, there will indeed be an orgy scene, and two adult film actors were hired to act in it.
Last time around, we all gasped at the technical audacity required for this one-take, six-minute wonder:
This time, it could the “colossal” and “deliriously vast” orgy scene that captures our attention. Hmm.
Finally, who’s this lad?
Only time will tell.
Farewell, Hart and Cohle.

Seen a small child running on his ‘own’ and didn’t think to stop and check if he was with someone..?!!
Good point Derina… A couple of times I’ve been out walking my dog and I’ve seen young toddlers out walking on their own. I’ve stopped them and sure enough 20secs later their poor mother or father would be running down the street after them, panicked. The other problem nowadays is that people can be reluctant to interfere in case they are accused of something. Personally I wouldn’t care what people thought, a toddler out alone is in danger from all sorts of things so I’d make it my place to stay with them until Mammy/Daddy showed up or call the gardai.
Man approaches small child he doesn’t know with no parents nearby…
To be quite honest, I doubt I’d stop in those circumstances.
Have to say, sad state of affairs but I would have to agree with you and I think quite a lot of people would too.
That’s the thing Chris… As I said above, some people, men in particular would probably be afraid to stop and check. Sadly that’s the society we now live in. Fear of false accusation is terrible.
Very strange they did not stop and help, hold him until police came. ,What is wrong with folk today ?
Praying for the little boy’s safe return.
Agree with who
Chris
Thanks
There must be more to this story that the police aren’t saying.
It’s so sad I really hope he is found safe.
A few years ago I was walking home with my own son from the local shopping centre when I noticed a young boy of about 3 years old slowing walking along. I walked by him but I thought it strange him being on his own. He was about half a mile from the centre. I went back to him and I asked him where was his mum. He said he didn’t know. I brought him back to my house and I rang the security in the shopping centre on the off chance she was there. Sure enough his mother was frantically looking for him and had gone to security. She confirmed his name and what he was wearing. The security guy drove her to my house to collect him. The poor woman was hysterical I’ll never forget her face. To this day I’m so glad I went back to him, people shouldn’t be afraid to approach if it means saving a child’s life.
This story reminds me of Madeline McCann, I have a feeling the mother knows a lot more than she’s telling people
So Aaron u reckon Madeline Mc Canns mother knows more than she saying?
Yeah I do, both her and the father, always believed it from the start that they were keeping something to themselves about it
Ridiculous comment
They were questioned by both the Portuguese police and the British so Im sure if they had anything to do with it one or other would have seen through their stories
The Portugese named them as suspects and after swearing they’d never leave Portugal without Maddie they did a legger back to the UK on a private chartered flight within a couple of days.
Its pointless mentioning the British Police as they have about as much authority in the case as you and I do
Well the cadaver dog smelled a body in the boot explain that?
Just heard on news that its now believed he went missing sooner as he had not being to nursery school that day.
As someone said more this story then we are getting although hopefully Im wrong
Heard earlier today that there is now a possibility that he went missing before the timeframe previously given & if that is the case, the mother definitely knows something!!!!!
He might have found Narnia, or Captin Hook took him in the middle of the night.
But the story stinks.
There is something the mother knows that we don’t.
Yeh, I’d say she does. Like how it feels as a parent to have your child missing for 36 hours without knowing if the child is safe or alive? A sheer hell that many of us hopefully will never have to experience.
Whats this…the mother is in custody…

Omg kellie are u mad writing that here I said same thing yesterday and got abused
Maybe she went to bed at 9
I was wondering that, unless of course she went to bed at the same time. It’s just awful I hope he turns up safe and sound soon.
Heart sinks
Well I personally would check my girls at least twice in between my putting them to bed & going myself!!!!! All depends on what time his mother went to bed herself tho I suppose!!
Please god he will be found safely soon x
Rip lil man
Maybe she did!!!!!
