LOS ANGELES â€" One day after HBO executives hinted at major True Detective Season 2 casting news coming down the pike, two actors are said to be circling roles on the upcoming installment of the anthology series.
First up, Colin Farrell is in serious talks with the network to star in Season 2, which will be set in California, as Deadline first reported. Though, no deal has been made official yet, Mashable confirmed. Meanwhile, The Wrap reports that Friday Night Lights alum Taylor Kitsch is also circling a role.
If the casting rumors are true, the duo would fill two of four major roles in the upcoming season.
On Thursday, during a Q&A at the Television Critics Association press tour, HBO president of programing Michael Lombardo said they were looking at a number of well-known names for the new season, which does not yet have a premiere date.
True Detective's first season walked away with 12 nominations for the 2014 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and two for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for stars Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey.
If the deal goes through, it would be Farrell's first television gig since his guest appearance on Scrubs in 2005.
Kitsch most recently paired up with HBO for Ryan Murphy's adaptation of The Normal Heart, which walked away with 16 Emmy nominations.
What do you think of this possible casting?
