True Detective: HBO and Pizzolatto’s Season 3 Renewal Dilemma

by Cindy McLennan, November 18, 2015

True Detective TV show on HBO: canceled or renewed?

Yesterday, Deadline reported HBO has given True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto an overall deal through 2018. Per Deadline that deal could involve a season three renewal for the in-limbo series, but True Detective could also end up cancelled after only two seasons. The second season cast of True Detective anthology series includes: Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Vince Vaughn.

Variety provides additional details about a possible third season for True Detective:

Sources say HBO has been looking to make a change in the way the show is run, given the critical response to the second season, and has presented Pizzolatto with a number of options. Those options include: him working with a staff of writers, having a new showrunner come in, as well as him going it alone again. In all scenarios, he would remain an exec producer.

Sources say HBO has been pressing Pizzolatto for an answer so they can move forward with production on the show.

What do you think? Did you watch season two of HBO’s True Detective TV show? Do you think it should be renewed for a third season? Which of HBO’s proposed options do you think best?

The second season wasn’t as good as the first because, honestly, how could you beat the Mcconaughey and Harrelson chemistry in the first season. I hope they make a third season with Eward Norton as one of the detectives

I guess I’m in the minority that really loved the 2nd Season. It was completely different in many ways and was supposed to be. You can’t do the same thing and expect to top something as good as the 1st season. I felt the 2nd season finale was unnecessarily miserable, but outside of that I was thoroughly entertained and the acting was top notch. More, more!

I agree with everyone on here, the first season was fantastic, the second not so good but still better than anything bar Fargo. Definitely a third, but based on terrorism or internet stalking stuff, or both. But Nic needs to write it.

I loved the first season, the second season didn’t live up to the first, but it was much better than the typical stuff on TV. I think there should be a third season to see if they can do it right again. Sometimes movie sequels are awful, example. Raiders 2. But 3 was great, and even 4 was good.

I love this show … The 1st season was absolutely fantastic the 2nd season … not so much, even though the cast was great the electricity of the first season’s episodes was not present. My opinion, thanks …

Loved BOTH seasons, intricate, surprising, smart, FABULOUS scores; PERFECT antidote to bloated nonsense like How to Get Away WM, Revenge, etc., etc., blahblah. Really hope sea3 gets the green light with full control for Pizzolatto.
