In 2014, the first season of the anthology series True Detective starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson brilliantly relaunched the way of making noir thrillers in series.

Head to the Arctic
And when no one really expected it, HBO recently released a press release announcing that a fourth season of Nic Pizzolatto's cult series was in development under the working title of Night Country.

Barry Jenkins, Oscar-winning director of Moonlight, will serve as showrunner. Note that Nic Pizzolatto, original creator and screenwriter of the previous three seasons, has obviously been completely excluded from the creative process for this season 4.
