Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell to Star in ‘True Detective’ Season 2

Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will fill the roles of 2 of our 4 main characters for the second season of HBO’s breakout hit “True Detective.” The second season will be 8 episodes long and shoot in California, with the first 2 episodes being directed by Justin Lin. 

We got a little bit of information on the characters they will be playing from HBO as well. Farrell will play Ray Velcoro, “a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him.” Vaughn will be playing Frank Semyon, “a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business parter.”

Three police officers and a career criminal must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder

There are still 2 more police officers who will be cast in main roles as the season description shows, “Three police officers and a career criminal must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.” I’m interested to see who else they announce as I’ve not been a fan of Vaughn in a long while.
