The actor shared the news in an interview with the Sunday World (via Buzzfeed). "I'm doing the second series. I'm so excited," he told the Irish newspaper. The Dark Thrills of 'True Detective' Farrell noted that the remaining roles were still being locked in as he dropped a few more details about the production. "I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot," he said. "I know very little about it, but we're shooting in the environs of Los Angeles which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids." HBO has not yet confirmed the casting news, and other details of the production remain a mystery. Elisabeth Moss, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch are all rumored to be interested or involved in some way. Series creator Nic Pizzolato has previously revealed that the second season of the series, set in a fictional California town, would be about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system."

True Detective
Cast and crew.:Season 2.
In January 2014, Pizzolatto signed a two-year contract extension with HBO, effectively renewing the series for two additional seasons. Much like its predecessor, season 2 of "True Detective" consists of eight episodes, all written by Pizzolatto. However, the responsibility of directing was assigned to several people. Justin Lin directed the first two episodes. Fukunaga, who directed all of season one, did not return as director; he remains, however, an executive producer, as do McConaughey and Harrelson. Pizzolatto hired fellow novelist Scott Lasser to help develop and write stories for the second half of the season.
