Much like the first season, season two consists of eight episodes, all written by Pizzolatto. However, where season one had the same director for all episodes (Fukunaga), season two has several different directors. While Fukunaga in not a director of any of the season two episodes, he is listed as an executive producer.
The success of the first season of True Detective, and its subsequent renewal, fueled casting rumors in the press. The season's first significant casting was Colin Farrell as Ray Velcoro. Vince Vaughn, selected for the role Frank Semyon, became the important signing. Last aboard were Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Rachel McAdams.
In season two, a bizarre murder spawns an investigation bringing together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California.
