After a successful first run, HBO series “True Detective” was entered into the category for Outstanding Drama Series for the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be broadcasted on August 25.
In an interview with Hitfix, Nick Pizzolatto, the creator of the series said that he needs to “keep being strange” in season 2.
“This is really early, but I'll tell you (it’s about) hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system,” Pizzolatto told the news site.
“True Detective” is a crime drama set in Louisiana about the lives of two detectives on their search for a serial killer. The eight-episode series ran as a pilot in early of 2014 on HBO, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
HBO’s programming president Michael Lombardo explained his reasoning for entering the series into the drama category, rather than the miniseries, reported the entertainment news site Deadline.
“This project was pitched to us, it was produced by us and marketed by us as a series… In our minds this is a series, and the only reason to enter it as a miniseries was a cynical reason that didn’t feel like the right thing to do,” Lombardo said.
