Overview

• Nic Pizzolatto told the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast he has an undeveloped idea to bring back Matthew McConaughey’s Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson’s Marty Hart.
• Both McConaughey and Harrelson have discussed the project and are open to reprising their roles, though no script has been written.
• The proposed Cohle and Hart tale would likely stand apart from the anthology’s official fifth season rather than serving as its next installment.
• HBO has already greenlit True Detective Season 5 with Issa López returning as showrunner and a Jamaica Bay, New York setting on track for a 2027 premiere.
• Pizzolatto stepped away from the franchise at the end of 2019 for personal and creative reasons but said he would consider revisiting his original characters under the right circumstances.
