‘True Detective’s Second Season To Star Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn

Briefly: You can stop speculating. HBO has finally, finally revealed just who will be taking the starring roles in the next season of their more-than-phenomenal series, True Detective.

Season two will begin production of its eight-episode second season later this fall, and Scorpion, Fast and Furious 6, and Community director Justin Lin will helm the first two episodes.

So who’s starring?

Colin Farrell will play Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him.

Vince Vaughn is Frank Semyon, a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.
