The True Detective franchise began with the critically and commercially successful first season, which debuted on HBO in 2014, and starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

Sbsequent sereis’ focussed on new characters in new settings with new storylines, with Season 2 hitting in 2015 and Season 3 dropping in 2018. Now Season 4 – subtitles Night Country – has moved its release date, from 2023, to 2024. Here’s everything we know about the series.

Is there a True Detective: Night Country release date?

True Detective: Night Country will release on Max – formerly HBO – in January 2024.

The previously released sizzle reel (that can be viewed below) states that Season 4 is “coming this year.” But the HBO website now states that the series is “coming in 2024.” HBO then told Deadline that the sequel series will debut in January.

The previous True Detective seasons aired weekly, so expect Night Country to do the same rather than dropping all at one.
