True Detective Wiki

True Detective is an American crime drama television series created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, centered on troubled police detectives and the investigations that drive them to the edge. It is an anthology, with each season featuring a new cast and a new case.

The first season takes place in Louisiana and follows a pair of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives, Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson), and their pursuit of a serial killer over a 17-year period.

The second season focuses on three law enforcement agents in California — Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell), Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams), and Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) — as well as criminal-turned-businessman Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn) as they investigate a series of crimes they believe are linked to the murder of a corrupt politician.

The third season is set in the Ozarks over three separate time periods as Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) and Roland West (Stephen Dorff) investigate a macabre crime involving the 1980 disappearance of two children in the town of West Finger, Arkansas.
