HBO Max (now just Max) just dropped the first teaser trailer for the fourth instalment in the True Detective franchise…

The series, titled True Detective: Night Country, stars the iconic Jodie Foster (Silence of The Lambs, Taxi Driver) as Detective Liz Danvers, who, together with her partner Evangeline Navarro (played by Kali Reis), investigates the mysterious disappearance of eight men from the Tsalal Arctic Research Station.

“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace,” the official logline reads.

“To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice…”

The stacked cast also includes the likes of Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, Isabella Star Lablanc, Aka Niviâna, Anna Lambe, Joel D. Montgrand, Christopher Eccleston and John Hawkes.

Night Country marks a new chapter for True Detective, with showrunner Nic Pizzolatto exiting the series at the end of the last season. Nevertheless, there’s a strong team in his wake, including Barry Jenkins (Aftersun, Moonlight) who is stepping into the role of executive producer, alongside OG True Detective stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

True Detective first premiered in 2014 and featured McConaughey and Harrelson as Louisiana state police. In the following seasons, the series took us to California with Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Vince Vaughn, and then to Arkansas with Mahershala Ali as Detective Wayne Hays in Season 3.
