True Detective Season Three Not Yet Set
Sources say HBO has been looking to make a change in the way the show is run, given the critical response to the second season, and has presented Pizzolatto with a number of options.

Regardless, even though I didn’t love True Detective’s second season, I’d be enthused to dive back into another series from Pizzolatto, be it True Detective Season 3 or something entirely different.
“A number of new projects are being considered, as well as future incarnations of the drama series True Detective”, HBO said in a release. There might be chance for redemption, now that Pizzolatto has signed a new HBO deal-but TD3 isn’t a sure thing yet. Pizzolatto would remain an executive producer, though HBO has reportedly given the choice of going it alone once again, adding a staff of writers, or a new showrunner altogether.
It may be hard to remember in this post-Farrelstache world we live in, but season one of True Detective was a bonafide hit. The primary difference between the two was the lack of a creative counterpart working in tandem with Pizzolatto, which for Season 1 was Cary Fukunaga, who directed all eight episodes. Go ahead. I’m picturing a giant toxic-waste monster with the forehead of Vince Vaughn, the squinty eyes of Tim Riggins, and bright orange hair, just mainlining cocaine and stabbing me repeatedly with a knife, not deeply but just enough times so that I bleed to death at an old-man orgy. That, amusing enough, are all the images I remembered upon waking from the fever dream that was True Detective season two.
HBO is staying in the Nic Pizzolatto business.
The premium cabler locked up an overall deal that will have the creator of True Detective in the fold until 2018, according to a report from Variety.

In the ratings, meanwhile, it averaged 11 million viewers during the season, including delayed viewing, coming up about a million short of the first season’s average. Oh boy. Take it away, Rust.
