True Detective Season 2 Release Date, Cast Rumors: Show Set to Start Filming This Fall
The long awaited second season of HBO's True Detective series is rumored to premiere in January of 2015. Several rumors of who may be part of the cast have already spread to the public, but the production keeps their lips sealed and haven't confirmed much of anything.
"Literally, not a single rumor about casting that has been printed anywhere has any truth to it whatsoever. I mean that literally. I've seen entertainment reporters say 'My sources say ...' there are no sources. There's me and two other guys and they don't even know what I'm doing." True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto said during a press conference at the Banff World Media Festival.
While nothing can be known for sure, some of the speculation involved names like Jon Hamm of Mad Men and America Ferrera. With word going around saying that one of the lead roles is a female role, it may be possible that Ferrera will be chosen for the part.
Ferrera is already thrilled with the idea although it hasn't been officially announced by the show executives, "That's exciting! I loved the first season, I love doing drama as well as light-hearted, comedic stuff. When I chose something it's all about the character; someone juicy to play! But sure! If they call me and offer it of course I would consider it!" Ferrera told Yahoo in an interview.
The series is confirmed to start filming this Fall and series creator also revealed that Season 2 will take place in California, "Not Los Angeles but some of the much lesser-known venues of California, and we're going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in Season 1," Pizzolatto announced to press.
So far, cast rumors have been denied and what can be expected is a different TV show from the first season. Pizzolatto said that he'd like to see a different show every season, and maybe fans will buy that pattern for many years to come.
"Every season, I'm essentially creating a brand new TV show," he said. "It can't have any growing pains like a regular first season. If it works it has to work right out of the box. That's incredibly exhausting. I mean, the job is exhausting to begin with, but it's doubly exhausting and I'm writing every episode. I can't imagine I would do this more than three years." Pizzolatto said.
