The video includes peeks at the much-anticipated final season of Game of Thrones, Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen TV series, new series Euphoria, upcoming miniseries Chernobyl and Catherine the Great, and new Big Little Lies, Veep, True Detective, Barry, Succession, and Divorce seasons.

HBO has released a new trailer for the long-awaited new season of True Detective, which will premiere nearly three and a half years after season two ended, believe it or not.

The new season stars Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, and the story will take place over the course of three decades. It comes from creator Nic Pizzolatto. You can find much more information on True Detective season three and check out the new trailer as well as a previously released trailer in case you missed it.

For anyone who might have missed it, HBO released the first trailer for True Detective season three a few days back.

In addition to the trailer, they also recently released a promo video for their 2019 lineup. This includes new seasons of the aforementioned True Detective, as well as Veep, Barry, The Deuce, Room 104, and Big Little Lies. It also includes some new series like Camping starring Jennifer Garner, The Shop, and My Brilliant Friend, a new Flight of the Conchords special, the HBO original film My Dinner with Hervé starring Peter Dinklage, the documentary Jane Fonda in Five Acts, a special titled Pod Save America, and of course, Game of Thrones season eight, the final season.

It’s been three years, believe it or not, since True Detective arrived on HBO to massive critical praise. It’s actually already been two years since the not so well-received second season ended.

A third season was a large question mark for a long while now. Back at the beginning of the year, HBO president of programming Casey Bloys said ideas were being exchanged but they weren’t rushing things. Now comes word that season three is officially happening, and some details have been shared.

More on the new season’s story and who’s involved below.

In addition to talking about the current status of any possible Game of Thrones prequels or spinoffs, as well as how many episodes season eight will have, HBO president of programming Casey Bloys also offered brief status updates for some of their other projects.

Bloys shared the current status of that Deadwood movie we’ve been hearing about, which fans of the western series have been anxiously awaiting word on. The update doesn’t really offer much, sadly, so don’t excitedly rush below to see it. He also shared where things stand on two more recent shows: True Detective, which had an outstanding debut season but rough second season, leaving the status of season three up in the air; and The Night Of, their crime series which was initially a limited series but due to its success is being considered for new episodes.

See what Bloys had to say about the three projects below.

HBO’s True Detective season one had an excellent opening credits sequence to go with how awesome the show itself was. This is one of the not so good things about it being an anthology series, as the opening credits has to be changed with each new season to fit the new cast, story, and so on.

But despite the fact that season two, complete with its very own opening credits sequence, has already come and gone, the first season’s opening credits are still being enjoyed. In honor of the second season finale recently, a video was created combining the odd couple pairing of none other than Star Wars with the True Detective season one opening. Basically, it’s the same presentation and same song, except with Star Wars characters and actors’ names. Even Hayden Christensen gets a nod, believe it or not. You remember that guy, right? Anyone? Bueller?

You can check out the video below along with the original (slightly NSFW) opening credits for comparison.

HBO has released a second trailer for the upcoming season two of the hit crime drama True Detective, which stars Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch, and Kelly Reilly. Created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, the first two episodes of season two are directed by Justin Lin (Fast and Furious 3-6, Star Trek 3), who takes over for season one director Cary Fukunaga.

HBO has released the first trailer for season two of their acclaimed crime drama anthology series True Detective. The trailer is only a minute long, but still shows off plenty of footage to get fans of the series excited for the sophomore effort.

Season two stars Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch, and Kelly Reilly, with Justin Lin directing the first two episodes of the season. Cary Fukunaga directed all eight episodes of the highly praised first season of the show, which was created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

You can check out the first trailer for the new season of True Detective below.

When it comes to TV holiday specials, they usually are done with sitcoms and animated series and such with shows like Doctor Who and Sherlock also thrown in for good measure.

But what if even the most dramatic of TV shows, such as HBO’s True Detective, were to have their very own Christmas special. What might that look like? We’ll never know for sure, but a new video from YouTube channel Heck Bender might just offer the best example.

You can check out the amusing video (if you’re familiar with the first season of the show and the characters Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey played) below.

A few names that have been said to be up for roles in season two of True Detective have been made official by HBO.

HBO has sent out a press release confirming that Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, and Kelly Reilly have all signed on for roles in the sophomore season of the anthology series. The actors join previously cast stars Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn.
