HBO recently released the trailer for True Detective: Night Country, starring Jodie Foster, set in Alaska.
Night Country is the fourth season of HBO's True Detective anthology. Foster is joined by Kali Reis as detectives who seem to have a troubled history as they investigate what happened to the Arctic research's eight scientists who disappeared then subsequently found frozen solid on the outskirts of the village. All this while Alaska enters months of sunless skies.
The show's logline, according to The Hollywood Reporter, says, “Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”
The trailer starts with a voiceover, “The night country takes us one by one.”
Foster and Reis are joined by Christopher Eccleston, Finn Bennett, Fiona Shaw, Isabella Star LaBlanc and John Hawkes. Guest stars Anna Lambe, Aka Niviâna, June Thiele, Diana Benson and Joel D. Montgrand will also appear in the series.
True Detective was first released in 2014, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. The show was set in Louisiana. It won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Cary Joji Fukunaga.
True Detective's second season was released the following year, starring Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams, and was set in California. True Detective season 3 premiered in 2019 and starred Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff.
The series was created by Nic Pizzolatto. The upcoming season is the first to carry a subtitle.
While the voiceover said, “This isn't gonna be good”, I think the opposite will be true.
True Detective: Night Country will premiere on Jan. 14, 2024 on Max.
