What is True Detective: Night Country About?

This is how HBO describes True Detective: Night Country: "When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, 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."

In addition to Foster and Ries, the season stars Finn Bennett, Fiona Shaw, Christopher Eccleston, Isabella Star LaBlanc, and John Hawkins. Anna Lambe, Aka Niviâna, June Thiele, Diane Benson, and Joel D. Montgrand guest star. Issa López serves as showrunner, writer, director (all episodes), and executive producer.

Finding the Right Tone For True Detective Season 4 Was Important to HBO

By the time True Detective: Night Country debuts, it will have been four years since the last installment of the anthology crime drama and HBO executive Casey Bloys previously said that they were looking for the "right tone and take" for the series.

"It's safe to say we're working with a couple of writers to find that right tone and take," Bloys explained. "it's definitely an area that could be very interesting and I think it would be interesting with a new voice. Quality is what's going to guide us so if we end up with scripts that we do not feel are representative or are not high enough quality, we're not going to do something just to do it."
