"True Detective" has been a rough beast. The first season felt like it came out of nowhere, and proceeded to blow our minds in the process. Arriving at the height of The McConaissance, when Matthew McConaughey stopped making awful rom-coms and reminded us all he was a great actor, the first season, created by Nic Pizzolatto and helmed entirely by Cary Joji Fukunaga, was the very definition of must-see TV. A strange, funny, existential bit of pulp, the series featured McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as mismatched cops looking into ritualistic murders. That first season occasionally hinted at the supernatural while never fully embracing it, and despite its bleaker-than-bleak nature, ended on a surprisingly hopeful note. After all, that season concluded with McConaughey's miserable Rust Cohle commenting: "Well, once there was only dark. You ask me, the light's winning."

Liz Danvers, chief of police in the remote Alaska town of Ennis, and heroine of True Detective: Night Country, is fond of telling other cops they’re asking the wrong questions, prodding them over and over until they ask the right one. With Night Country, there’s only one question: Was it worth resurrecting the long-dormant True Detective franchise — and without its original creator, Nic Pizzolatto?

While the resolution of the strike resulted in higher pay for Writers Guild of America members, and with actors presumably seeking similar gains in their own standoff with studios, HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys does not see the new contracts changing the way his company does business.
“I’m happy that everybody appears to be very happy with the deal that they got. And in terms of working with everybody, I want everybody to feel that they’ve gotten a good deal and are ready to get back to work. So that’s what I’m most concerned with,” Bloys said. “Is it going to be more expensive? Yeah, but again, not that I’m going to say ‘Well, I’m not going to make this show.’ A good show is a good show is a good show.”

Everything you need to know to decide whether you’ll watch True Detective: Night Country lies in this sentence from the new series’ new teaser: “We’ve got five bodies frozen into a giant block of flesh, and no answers.” Season Four of the anthology series will premiere on Max on Jan. 14 (y’know, peak bodyberg time.)
The clip sets an ominous tone, opening with Detective Evangeline Navarro (played by Kali Reis) saying that sometimes she wishes she could disappear. “This is Alaska,” says Jodie Foster’s character Detective Liz Danvers.
