Veni, vidi, Vinci
There's been a steady trickle of teasers for the second season of True Detective, but this latest trailer from HBO gives us a much better idea of what to expect from this hotly anticipated crime drama when it lands late next month.
Unlike the first series, which was a backwoods genre-bender that featured trippy detours into the world of weird fiction, series 2 of True Detective is playing the corruption game, placing its focus squarely on callous copper Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell) and Vince Vaughn's Frank Semyon, an entrepreneur whose business dealings, we suspect, may not fall entirely within the bounds of the law.
Rounding out the cast is Rachel McAdams, seen in the trailer getting all stab-happy with a block of wood, as disillusioned Ventura County sheriff Ani Bezzerides , and Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch), a former solider turned highway patrol man.
It is Woodrugh who gets the ball rolling, stumbling across a major crime scene and cracking open a case that brings various parties from both sides of the law down on the Californian city of Vinci.
Although it's too early to tell if the second series of True Detective will throw as many curve balls as the first, this trailer gives us faith that the grimy, unflinching tone that made Cohle and Hart's trawl through the underbelly of Americana so memorable, has made the transition to the big city intact. We'll find out for sure when the series hits the small screen on June 21.
