Everybody’s talking about: True Detective
Matthew McConaughey has stirred up a bit of excitement by saying he “wouldn’t hesitate for a second” about being in True Detective again.
Speaking to talk show host Rich Eisen, he said if the script was “written well” he’d give it a shot – it’s currently unclear if the show will get a third season after the second’s lukewarm reception.
