“True Detective: Night Country” Hits All Time Ratings High for HBO’s Anthology Series

We’re all in the Night Country now. There’s only one episode left to go to uncover the mysteries of “True Detective: Night Country” and the season has become the HBO anthology series’ most-watched season yet, per The Wrap.

Look for the finale of “True Detective: Night Country” to premiere this Sunday on HBO at 9PM ET, exclusively on Max.

“True Detective: Night Country” has proven to be a massive hit for HBO and the Max streaming service here in 2024, with the viewership rising on a week-to-week basis.

Ahead of its Sunday finale, The Wrap reports that “True Detective: Night Country” has amassed 12.7 million average viewers across multiple platforms, including HBO and Max, according to Nielsen and internal viewing figures from Warner Bros. Discovery. That puts it ahead of the 11.9 million viewers brought in by inaugural season, making it the most watched “True Detective” season yet. On Max, “True Detective: Night Country” continues to rank as the most-watched title on the streaming platform.

From writer/director/showrunner/executive producer Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), “Night Country” stars screen legend Jodie Foster alongside Kali Reis.

“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”

John Hawkes (Deadwood, Winter’s Bone), Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve)Finn Bennett (Domina) and Anna Lambe (Three Pines) also star.

When Bloody Disgusting spoke with Issa López in a recent interview, the showrunner teased some massive connections with season one for the finale: “What I kept about it is that there’s a bunch of winks to the first season, from characters that are related to characters in that first season to the beer they drink to the long drives where the two characters explore their own visions of the universe that are completely opposed, to some things that happen in Episode Six that you will see in time. But it is a love letter, in a way, to all the things that really worked in that first season.”

How will season four end? While we’re days away from finding out, it feels safe to assume that “True Detective: Night Country” will take a bow to more record-breaking viewership numbers.
