True Detective Season 2 Posters Released
By Bryce Olin
With roughly two months before the Season 2 premiere, True Detective tweeted not one motion poster, not two motion posters, but THREE motions posters for the upcoming season today, via TIME.
As Season 1 True Detective star Matthew McConaughey would say, “All right, all right, all right…”
All three motion posters show a, likely, crucial setting of Season 2 and feature the message “We get the world we deserve.”
With these motion posters, it just begins to generate that interest and anticipation ever so slightly. The teaser trailer released a few weeks ago kickstarted that excitement for Season 2, and now the motion posters are beginning to drag out that excitement until HBO releases another trailer.
True Detective: Season 2 stars Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, Farrell’s mustache, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch.
Here’s the official synopsis for True Detective: Season 2 from HBO:
"A bizarre murder brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California. Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial City of Vinci, LA County. Vince Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work, while his wife and closest ally (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own. Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves, while Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol who discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars."
Sounds incredibly different from Season 1, right?

As you might have expected, it doesn’t look like the second season of True Detective will have that supernatural element of the series that attracted some viewers and turned others away.
With another star-studded cast, hopefully, Season 2 will be as good and critically acclaimed as Season 1. The second season of True Detective premieres on June 21 only on HBO… well, and HBO Now and HBO Go, of course!
