Learn More About True Detective

True Detective is HBO's anthology crime series, telling a new self-contained mystery each season with a new cast of detectives. Season one paired Matthew McConaughey's nihilistic Rust Cohle with Woody Harrelson's family man Marty Hart across a haunting Louisiana murder investigation, becoming one of the most acclaimed seasons of television ever made.

Later seasons brought new stories and casts, including Vince Vaughn's criminal-turned-businessman Frank Semyon in season two, Mahershala Ali's decades-spanning investigation in season three, and Jodie Foster and Kali Reis leading the frozen, supernatural-tinged mystery of True Detective: Night Country in season four.

Each season keeps the show's signature mix of bleak philosophy, slow-burn dread, and morally complicated detectives chasing the truth at any cost.
