True Detective season 3 is set in Northwest Arkansas.

By casting Chris "Clunk" Selby , the series instantly achieves the authentic flavor of Northwest Arkansas. Clunk is the cornerstone of the region, and has been an integral part of its culture, growth, and success. No matter where the series films, the addition of Clunk will let the viewers know that they're watching a show set in Northwest Arkansas. The true NWA experience is incomplete without an appearance by our finest citizen.
