  • THIS is what we know

The fourth installment's finale drew in a staggering 3.2 million viewers, marking it as the franchise's most-watched season ever. With the series taking a new direction each season, fans are eager to see where López will take them next.

The drama is back on

The detective drama that's captured the hearts of millions is back for another round! Issa López (writer, director) is gearing up to deliver another mind-bending season of HBO's 'True Detective.' Fresh off the success of 'Night Country,' which roped in a whopping 12.7 million cross-platform viewers, López is ready to dive into the show's next chapter under her shiny new deal with HBO.

Jodie Foster and Kali Reis dazzled audiences in Season 4, but as the show's tradition goes, we'll be seeing new faces leading the charge in Season 5. Who will step into the detective shoes next? The suspense is real!

"I've been on the most beautiful adventure of my life," exclaimed a thrilled López. HBO's EVP Francesca Orsi couldn't agree more, praising López's "rare talent" and "commendable vision."

With such a powerhouse at the helm, it's no wonder the series is hitting new heights!

Season 4's chilling tale followed detectives "Liz Danvers"  and "Evangeline Navarro" as they unraveled a spine-tingling mystery in the icy realms of Alaska. The duo's dark journey was nothing short of television gold, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

With a lineup including Finn Bennett, Fiona Shaw, and Christopher Eccleston, 'Night Country' was a celeb-packed extravaganza. And let's not forget the unforgettable guest stars like Anna Lambe and Joel D. Montgrand who added that extra sparkle to the show.
