The Big Picture Written and directed by Issa López, the fourth season of the HBO crime anthology, True Detective: Night Country, is all about mood and atmosphere, from the dark and frosty nights to the hints of supernatural and horror.

Release Date January 12, 2014 Creator Nic Pizzolatto Cast Mahershala Ali , Stephen Dorff , Matthew McConaughey , Woody Harrelson , Jodie Foster , Kali Reis , Colin Farrell , Rachel McAdams , Vince Vaughn Seasons 4 Studio HBO Streaming Service Max HBO Wanted Showrunner Issa López For Season 4 of 'True Detective' After Watching 'Tigers Are Not Afraid' Collider: I have been curious about what True Detective might look like told in a woman’s voice, and thanks to you, I no...

When HBO greenlit it and we went for dinner with the executives in charge of the show, they sat me down and they said, “Listen, you don’t know what you just got yourself into. We’ve seen very experienced filmmakers get to the point that they can’t continue when they take on directing every episode of a series. So, we want you to know that we have your back.” I was scared, but then I went and did it, and you know what? It was a joy.

LÓPEZ: When I got the call about True Detective, I went and rewatched it and I immediately got a sense that I didn’t get the first time I watched it, that it was heavily inspired by Se7en, which is a movie I love. So, I sat down and watched Se7en, which is still so good. And then, I was like, “This is actually so much The Silence of The Lambs.” So, I rewatched The Silence of The Lambs and was like, “Where is Jodie Foster? We need her. We need to see a lot of her.

LÓPEZ: Yeah, I spent so much time thinking about it. As I was writing it, I was like, “It’s a knot of flesh and terrified faces, and you don’t know how many are there.” But I was like, “Fuck, making this work is going to be a nightmare. If I don’t get it right, there’s no series. I have to rewrite this.” HBO and the executives and the EPs were like, “How are you going to do this?” And I was like, “Don’t worry about it. Monsters are my thing.” I was terrified, so I called Guillermo del Toro.
