According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is developing a new series from True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto. That’s already a surprise, as he hasn’t served as a showrunner since 2019, when he left True Detective after Season 3. But an even bigger surprise is the star attached: Matthew McConaughey, who played Rustin “Rust” Cohle in True Detective Season 1. McConaughey’s Rust Cole provided the dark heart of True Detective Season 1. True Detective streams on HBO Max.
