'True Detective' Season 2 will feature a new set of characters, cast, story and setting. Vince Vaughn, who is confident living up to the hype, said the new season will be very different.
In a recent interview with Playboy magazine, the 44-year-old actor Vince Vaughn admits that he is not feeling pressured following Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey's highly praised performances.
He told the magazine that, "[Creator] Nic Pizzolatto is such a great writer, and so much of this is driven by his stories," Vaughn says. "I thought Woody and Matthew did an exceptional job with the first season. This one's very different, though. It's a totally different story, with its own characters."
Vaughn also assures viewers that the show is still going to be top-notch, saying, "The thing that's consistent is the richness of the characters and the quality of the material. That was Louisiana. This is a California-based story, and it was kind of birthed from here. A lot of it is set in Los Angeles."
Adding: "I really like my character. Nic is so great about investigating characters and their complexities in an authentic and engaging way. I want to watch this show not because I'm in it but as a fan of the material."
According to the Coming Soon, 'True Detective' Season 2 revolves around three police officers and a criminal who will navigate a conspiracy after a murder. Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a man who is in danger of losing everything when his move into a more legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of his business partner.
Moreover, Den Of Geek reveals that the death of the manager comes when a crucial transportation deal is set to happen. It is later learned that Casper liked rough sex and was involved in occult practices. It is also rumored that the story delves into the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.
Meanwhile, other cast members for the upcoming season include Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch. Farrell portrays Ray Velcoro, a detective who is not sure whether he should stick to the corrupt police department, or to the mobster who basically owns him. McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a very straightforward detective who rebuffs to compromise ethics, putting her at odds with other people she works with. Finally, Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle officer for the Highway Patrol, running from the past and into a scandal.
No premiere date is set for 'True Detective' Season 2, except that it is within this year.
