Silence Of The Lambs actor Jodie Foster is preparing to address a few secretive vanishings in the Alaskan wilderness. Foster has been projected in the number one spot job for HBO’s fourth season of the acclaimed crime series True Detective, named True Detective: Night Country.
Foster is set to play Detective Liz Danvers, and the casting marks the first time the actor will have a significant featuring role on TV. As a child, she had guest appearances on series like Gunsmoke, My Three Sons, and Paper Moon, as well as had voice acting roles sometime down the road on The Simpsons and Frazier. Foster additionally has in the background TV expertise, having directed episodes of Black Mirror, Orange Is The New Black, and House Of Cards.
HBO’s summary of the coarse crime drama’s fourth season reads: “When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.” Sounds as dark as Foster’s detective’s probable coffee order.
Joining this season as an executive producer is Oscar champ Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), alongside Foster. Genuine Detective: Night Country is being composed by Alan Page Arriaga and Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), with López delivering and coordinating the pilot episode. This will stamp a major imaginative change for the series, as maker and unique showrunner Nic Pizzolatto doesn’t give off an impression of being involved for the upcoming season.
A greater secret than the season itself is the point at which the new series will debut, as HBO still can’t seem to report when True Crime: Night Country will air.
