True Detective Season 3 Is Being Revived with Deadwood's David Milch
According to Entertainment Weekly, creator Nic Pizzolatto has written a couple of scripts for a potential third season -- despite the fact HBO hasn't officially ordered more episodes of the anthology series, which received critical acclaim in its first season but universal ridicule in its second.
EW also reports that Pizzolatto has roped Deadwood and NYPD Blue creator David Milch into his attempt at a third round in the ring.
Having someone as experienced and talented as Milch by his side will definitely help Pizzolatto and improve the show's writing, but the extent of Milch's involvement is unclear because the collaboration is still in the early stages.
Star Ian McShane, who next appears in the upcoming Starz drama American Gods, recently confirmed the existence of said script, but couldn't say much more.
