True Detective Season 3 premiere date has been moved to 2018 since its Producer Nic Pizzolatto has become the Executive Producer and Writer for a new HBO Drama series and therefore will not be able to focus on " True Detective" alone.
According to Christian Daily, " True Detective" Season 3 will have the lead star of Iron Man, Robert Downey and his wife Susan together with Joe Horacek as part of its lead cast, reports says that the discussions between Downey and the network are working well.
However, since the producer of "True Detective" Season 3 is the now the Executive Producer and Writer for a new HBO drama series, rumors has it that that " True Detective" Season 3 will not be aired because it will definitely take a lot of Pizzolatto's time.
As reported by Chatt Sports Net , HBO Chief Casey Bloys said in the Television Critics Association press which is held last July, that the series is not dead and acknowledged that "True Detective" is an important asset of the network. Bloys also mentioned that they are considering having a new writer under the supervision of Pizzolatto to work for the " True Detective" Season 3 .
In addition to this, The Christian Times reported that apart from the setback, the show's episodes will also be trimmed down to 8 from the usual 13-episode per season. It can be remembered that HBO did the same for " Games of Thrones" . The reason behind this is this is the fact that shortened number of episodes will enable the team of " True Detective" to focus on delivering higher quality per every episode.
The fans of " True Detective" are still lucky since the show is only delayed and not canceled, unlike the "Vinyl" series of Martin Scorsese which was canceled just after a single season. The " True Detective" Season 3 is expected to be released sometime in the year 2018.
