True Detective season 2 cast to have one male lead character

The second season of the hit HBO series True Detective is coming down the pike but it’s been extraordinarily hard to find out any sort of information on the show and who will be cast in the lead roles.

In addition to the mystery surrounding who will be in the series moving forward, we have no clue about who the characters will be in the second season and if we will get the much rumored dual female leads so many fans are pining for.

According to The Wrap, the second season of True Detective has reportedly turned in scripts and we now know casting details because of that. If the report is true, then we can expect one male lead and one female lead character in the second season of the show.

The Wrap is usually pretty good about getting accurate scoops, but after the Jessica Chastain debacle with Nerdist, we can’t help but take every rumor moving forward with a grain of salt. Still, this seems to be a legitimate rumor, even if series creator Nic Pizzolatto has been quick to dismiss just about everything that has been said about the direction of the second season.

Pizzolatto himself mentioned earlier in the month though that there could be three lead roles and while he didn’t specify genders, it’s not hard to see him making one of the leads female while still controlling some aspect of how his characters are created against the backdrop of fan input.
