“True Detective: Night Country,” the brand new season of the hit HBO series, is currently underway on Max with three episodes left to uncover the strange mysteries of Alaska. For those without a subscription, we’ve got good news: the premiere episode is available to watch online free right now!
From writer/director/showrunner/executive producer Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), “Night Country” stars 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.”
Check out the age-restricted premiere episode below, which kicks off the genre-bending season-long mystery with an inciting event heavily reminiscent of The Thing or the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
Issa López serves as showrunner and writer and directs all episodes.
John Hawkes (Deadwood, Winter’s Bone), Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), Finn Bennett (Domina) and Anna Lambe (Three Pines) also star.
“Night Country” marks the show’s first season without creator Nic Pizzolatto. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson return as executive producers, with Foster also exec producing. “True Detective” premiered on HBO back in 2014, with the stellar first season being followed by second and third seasons that didn’t quite garner the same acclaim as that initial outing.
Expect this season to make connections to the first season. López said in a recent interview, ““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.”
New episodes of “True Detective: Night Country” premiere Sundays on HBO at 9PM ET, exclusively on Max.
