True Detective is coming off of a tightly written and critically acclaimed first season. It makes sense that HBO would sign on for more episodes of the series, but if you are a fan of the first season, you should already know that there will need to be serious setting and character changes in order for Season 2 to happen. The new installment centers around a murder that brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal. All four involved must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California.
Farrell plays Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial City of Vinci, L.A. County. Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work, while his wife and closest ally, played by Kelly Reilly, struggles with his choices and her own. McAdams plays Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves, and Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol who discovers a crime scene that launches an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions and billions of dollars.
It’s a teaser trailer, but it just so happens to be one of the heftiest teaser trailers we’ve seen, with a full minute of footage introducing us to the characters played by Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch. Give it a watch, below.
