“True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto recently appeared on the “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast and revealed he has an idea for a new story that would bring back the characters of Rust Cohle and Marty Harty, memorably played by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the first season of HBO’s anthology series. Many viewers (and McConaughey himself) still regard “True Detective” Season 1 as the show’s best. The 2014 season earned Emmy nominations for both actors.

“I actually have another story for Cohle and Hart that — who knows? — maybe we’ll do it one day,” Pizzolatto said. “It’s character-based again. … But it’s not something I’ve written or anything. It’s just, I had that in my head. And we’ve talked about getting back together and doing it, and I think the guys are open to it. It’s just a question of whether that would ever happen or not.”

McConaughey and Harrelson remained close in the years after “True Detective” and are currently starring together as fictionalized versions of themselves in an upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series. McConaughey has always spoken fondly about making “True Detective,” telling Variety earlier this year that he adores his episodes.
