We are absolutely delighted to share the news that Issa López will return to HBO with a 5th season of “True Detective.” Season 4, which starred Oscar winner Jodie Foster, Kali Reis, Fiona Shaw, John Hawkes, and Christopher Eccleston, just aired its finale last week.
This season was not without some unfounded controversy, as Nic Pizzolatto decided to complain about the production, loudly and publicly, pretty much from the get-go. Pizzolatto is credited as ‘series creator’ for “True Detective,” having developed the first highly-praised season for HBO. (But even that is up for debate, as claims of plagiarism for that season which starred Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey continue to swirl.)
Reis responded to Pizzolatto’s criticism on Twitter.
Anyhow. Congrats to López for a stunning season, and for her new overall deal with HBO. We cannot wait to see what she comes up with for season 5. You can catch “True Detective” seasons 1-4 on HBO, MAX, and Hulu now.
