Everyone’s talking about… True Detective
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali is in talks for the lead role in the third season of True Detective.
If it returns, that is.
The Moonlight Oscar winner is in early discussions for a starring role in a potential third season of HBO anthology True Detective. A deal is far from done — and it remains unclear if there will actually be a third cycle of the franchise. HBO declined comment.
The first season of True Detective was critically adored, while the second was widely panned. But we have faith in Mahershala Ali.
MAKE IT HAPPEN, GUYS. (THR)
