True Detective Season 3 one step closer to reality - Mahershala Ali joins cast

True Detective season 3 is officially a go. HBO announced at the Television Critics Association's press tour on Wednesday that Moonlight Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is set to lead the upcoming third outing of the drama, which has a new set of "fantastic" scripts. (via Entertainment Weekly)
True Detective debuted to massive critical acclaim with its first season, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. (Both earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for their work.) However, the second season was a little less well-received, with the show failing to recapture the magic of the first season with Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Rachel McAdams at the helm.
The third season was long delayed after the performance of the second season, but reports first began to surface earlier this year that the network was in the early stages of pursuing another outing for the show. Past reports said that creator Nic Pizzolatto was working on the scripts for he new season, with four-time Emmy winner and 24-time Emmy nominee David Milch (Deadwood) set to help him out. With the new comments from HBO, it appears that their scripts are just about read to get an official green light.
"I have read five scripts for a third season," HBO president of programming Casey Bloys told the assembled reporters. "I'm very impressed and excited about what I've read. I don't want to give away the storyline, but I think they're really terrific." Bloys said HBO is currently looking for directors for the project, which would be the final step before work on the show can officially get underway.

Hope the show rebounds nicely. Maybe Lisa can return. That would help.

I've never watched this. The first season was all the hype on this board then crickets. Is it worth the watch?

The seasons have no relation at all to each other, so just watch Season 1.
Don't bother at all with Season 2. It is extremely terrible.

i believe that the creator blew his wad by episode 6-7 of season 1 and the jumbled finale that shite on everything that mad people engaged in season 1 + season 2 is much more likely of a path for this season

That is the understatement of the year.

another huge reason for the weak second season, aside from story, was they didn't have Cary Fukunaga. He's a very skilled and talented director, and brought a certain texture and mood to the first season that the "director by committee" group couldn't come close to matching in the second. And to me he is one of the biggest missing pieces on the show. He's listed as a producer but I imagine that's more of a hands off role in this situation.
That said, I will definitely watch a season 3. I'm a sucker for detective stories.
