^^I can't imagine they would ever do that. How many people already know how that one ends, not to mention the topic of each episode. Talk about anti-climactic and the exact opposite of the first season.
I also wouldn't mind Ewan McGregor. Not that he's rumoured for it, but August: Osage County was originally a pilot for HBO, so he already has that connection.
Really, I don't care who is in it, should be a good ride regardless.

No, I'm not saying they would or should, I'm just saying I think it would have worked well as an 8 episode show.
I just finished watching this season, and wow, what a show. I loved the character development, and the way they used the case to tell the story of the detectives. So many good quotes, but this was my favorite from Rust:
"If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward then, brother, that person is a piece of s***. "
Love it. Can't wait for the next season.

Maybe the highest quality TV production ever? There have been a lot of great cable TV shows over the past decade but I don't recall on so flawless in execution. You can argue McConaughey's performance as Rust was superior to his Oscar winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club.
Nerdist.com just broke the news that Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, The Help) has been offered one of the leading roles in the second season of HBO's True Detective. But will she be able to find the Yellow King the way she found Bin Laden

Seeing as this thread got bumped, I was quite surprised to see True Detective will be competeting in the traditional TV categories at the Emmy's and not in the miniseries categories. This of course means Breaking Bad against True Detective for best series and McConaughey versus Harrelson versus Cranston for best actor. Gotta be a record for Emmy star power right there.

My vote is for McConaughey, despite how awesome Cranston was.

The True Detective creator gave some scoop on the show, revealing that its second season — which still has not been officially announced — is probably going to have three leads. They’ll be all-new characters, “but I’m deeply in love with each of them,” he says. (We’re hearing, unconfirmed, the characters are two men and a woman.)
Pizzolatto also says the season will be set in California: “Not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser-known venues of California. And we’re going to try to capture a certain psycho-sphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one.” (We’re hearing, unconfirmed, that it’s mainly set in the present day, and that Northern California plays a key role.)
In addition, we’ve heard — again, unconfirmed — that season 2 is expected to consist of another eight epiosdes, with Pizzolatto writing each. But while Cary Fukunaga directed every hour of season 1, we’re hearing that the second season will likely have different directors for each episode.
Jessica Chastain is sorry about the minor Internet frenzy started when word got out that she’d been approached to star in the second season of “True Detective.”
As it turns out, she’s not doing it. Chastain shot down the news, first reported in an exclusive by the Nerdist, at the Cannes Cinema Against Aids benefit for amFAR.
“It’s such an awkward thing,” Chastain said. “That news broke yesterday and it went crazy on the Internet. There was so much of an explosion. Also it’s an awkward thing because when all that attention happens, it takes away from whoever plays the role. I love Woody Harrelson, and I’m gonna watch the second season just like I watched every episode of the first. But I won’t be on it.”
"Each season I'm essentially creating a brand-new TV show and it can't have any growing pains like a regular first season. It has to work right out of the box and that's incredibly exhausting," Nic Pizzolatto said in an interview Wednesday at the Banff World Media Festival.
Pizzolatto said he's written two scripts so far that's he's happy with. But he has a message for people who believe rumours about who will be cast in season 2. "Not a single rumour about casting that has been printed anywhere has any truth to it whatsoever. I've seen entertainment reporters say 'my sources say' and there are no sources. There's me and two other guys and they don't even know what I'm doing," he said.

Emmy nominations are out today. True Detective is nominated for best dramatic series and both Harrelson and McConaughey are nominated for best actor. No surprise really, but just a confirmation of how we all felt about the show and the performances by these guys.
I would give the edge to McConaughey in the Best Actor category. He was incredible...and that's not to take anything away from Woody.

This year's drama category name-checks some of the predicted suspects -- "Breaking Bad," "House of Cards," "Mad Men" -- while welcoming a new player: HBO's "True Detective."
...
Yet even with such a strong cast of nominees, fans of "Orphan Black," The Americans" and "The Walking Dead" are somewhere bemoaning the Emmys' oversight of those series once again.
One of these things is not like the others.
