HBO's "True Detective" season two has no cast or plot, but it may soon have its first director.
Justin Lin is in talks to direct the drama's first two episodes for the upcoming season, according to Deadline. Multiple directors will helm season two, as opposed to the first season's sole director, Cary Fukunaga, who also served as an executive director for all eight episodes.
Cast rumors have named almost every big star in Hollywood to fill the three, potentially four leading roles. Colin Farrell, Taylor Kitsch and Vince Vaughn have stood out, but none have been confirmed. The search continues for the lone female lead.
HBO has not released official plot details, but multiple outlets have reported that the show will take place in California. A possible scenario revolves around the death of a corrupt city manager, according to a synopsis obtained by The Wrap.
"[The city manager is] found brutally murdered amid a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change freeway gridlock in the state. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought."
Fukunaga won an Emmy for his direction on "True Detective" season one. He will remain an executive producer for season two.
Lin also directed the pilot for the new CBS series "Scorpion" that will premiere on Sept. 22 at 9 p.m.
