On the same day that Warner Bros. Discovery made the announcement that it was rebranding HBO Max as simply Max, the company also released the first True Detective: Night Country trailer.
As the title might suggest, the new season of the critically-acclaimed series takes place in Alaska, where there is a long night every winter where the sun never rises. This is where Jodie Foster’s police officer will see her adventure start.
At the beginning of the trailer, police detective Liz Danvers (Foster) explains that some people come to Alaska because they want to escape something. She then says others come because they are trying to find something, and sometimes they find it. This case was the disappearance of a man 48 hours ago.
The idea is that he went out to see the sunset for the final time before the long night, but Liz says she believes it is a murder case. However, not everyone involved agrees with her and that is where the drama seems to rest. She has to work with a detective named Evangeline Navarro, and the two clearly do not like each other and only begrudgingly work together.
“The night country, it takes us one by one,” Navarro said. Liz replies, “It’s crazy, the sh*t we survive.”
Jodie Foster, Kali Reis, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, Isabella Star Lablanc, Aka Niviâna, Anna Lambe, and Joel D. Montgrand with Christopher Eccleston, and John Hawkes star in the series.
What to expect from True Detective: Night Country
This is the fourth season of True Detective, and the first three were received on different levels. The first season arrived in 2014 on HBO with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the lead as two detectives revisiting an 18-year-old investigation of a murder of a prostitute. It was highly praised and won several awards.
However, the second season was mostly seen as a disappointment. This time, there were three detectives (Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch investigating the death of a corrupt city manager. This took the form of three departments working together and corruption that ran deep within them.
The show rebounded with its third season thanks to the performance of its lead. In this case, it was Mahershala Ali, who played a former police detective now suffering from dementia. However, when one of his old cases is reopened, he struggles to remember facts from that case and the show plays out in three different years of his life as he pieces things together.
The new season arrives on Max four years after the third hit in 2019.
