Many fans of "True Detective" were disappointed after the crime drama did not turn out as a big winner in the recently concluded Primetime Emmy Awards.
Meanwhile, the crime drama is again creating a buzz online as fans wait for the announcement of the new cast lineup for the show's upcoming season.
It can be recalled that early last month, it was hinted that something is going wrong with the production of the show. Daniel Fienberg of HitFix tweeted, "I feel like something has to be wrong for the 'True Detective' S2 casting to be dragging on like this."
This has sparked rumors in the online community, but HBO has not confirmed nor denied the speculations. However, according to a report by Forbes, the production is not in trouble. In fact, the report mentioned that all the rumors arise from the fact the HBO has "arguably unrealistic goals for the future of the series."
HBO has not yet announced the next season's cast of detectives, but it seems the network will find it hard to look for actors of the same caliber as Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
According to a report by The Wrap, Vince Vaughn is rumored to be part of the next season's cast. Vaughn, according to the report, is playing the lead villain of the show, Frank Semyon. His supposed character is a business mogul who is involved with the anomalous deals for the high-speed railway scheme.
While Vaughn has been linked to a number of comedic roles in the past, the actor has proven his versatility in some dramas he was part of.
Colin Farrell has also reportedly signed up already to be part of the cast. The actor is purportedly playing one of the good guys in the series. The report also claims that Elizabeth Moss will play the female lead character.
Another name linked to the detective roles is Taylor Kitsch.
Many observers believe that having A-list actors on the cast does not guarantee a great show, as chemistry between the actors is what matters the most. "True Detective's" first season showed how McConaughey and Harrelson made a perfect partner.
"True Detective" Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in early 2015.
