Only a few days after the Night Country finale, HBO reported that True Detective season 5 will feature the return of season 4 showrunner Issa López.
HBO has already confirmed that True Detective season 5 will continue, with Lopez making a comeback.
Francesca Orsi, an HBO executive and showrunner, revealed the following , "From conception to release, Night Country has been the most beautiful collaboration and adventure of my entire creative life. "
"HBO trusted my vision all the way, and the idea of bringing to life a new incarnation of True Detective with Casey, Francesca and the whole team is a dream come true. I can't wait to go again."
Orsi said Issa Lopez is that one-of-a-kind, rare talent that speaks directly to HBO’s creative spirit. She helmed True Detective: Night Country from start to finish, never once faltering from her own commendable vision, and inspiring us with her resilience both on the page and behind the camera.
"Alongside Jodie and Kali’s impeccable performances, she’s made this installation of the franchise a massive success, we are so lucky to have her as part of our family."
