True Detective: Night Country Premieres Amid Mixed Reviews and Controversy

New Season Draws on Real-Life Mysteries and Features Billie Eilish on Soundtrack

True Detective: Night Country, the fourth season of the HBO anthology series, premiered on January 14, 2024, with a new setting in Ennis, Alaska, and a new showrunner, Issa López.
The season revolves around a group of research scientists who disappear from a facility in Alaska, leading to a murder investigation by Police Chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and State Trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis).
The show has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with some controversy over alleged 'review bombing' by fans of the first season, which López addressed on social media.
The series has drawn inspiration from real-life mysteries such as the Mary Celeste and the Dyatlov Pass Incident, and features a soundtrack that includes Billie Eilish's 'Bury a Friend'.
The series will continue to air new episodes every Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
