Generally, season 2 was a letdown after such a powerful first season, but this is a bit surprising:
Quote:
Back in November, HBO signed a new deal with Pizzolatto. Under this new contract, which lasts until 2018, the cable network would consider a handful of projects from the writer, including another season of True Detective. At the time, it was said the show’s return wasn’t a sure thing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a third season currently appears even less likely.
The outlet posted a profile piece on HBO’s new head of programming, Casey Bloys, and in the feature, it’s briefly mentioned that the future of True Detective is in his hands. THR’s sources at the cable network suggested Bloys and Pizzollatto will possibly pursue a new project instead of another season of the crime series.
Pizzollatto was only interested in working on the show for three years. While promoting True Detective season two, he said he’d prefer to one day work on a more traditional television series.

I guess the bright spot is that we will see Pizzollatto's storytelling in a new, unrushed vehicle.
