True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto has put to bed some rumors you've heard about Season 2: There is no cast in place, only one person has been approached ... and it's not even an actor whose name has been circulated.
"Literally, not a single rumor about casting that has been printed anywhere has any truth to it whatsoever,” Pizzolatto said during a press conference at the Banff World Media Festival, according to the Calgary Herald. “I mean that literally. I’ve seen entertainment reporters say ‘My sources say ... ‘ There are no sources. There’s me and two other guys and they don’t even know what I’m doing.”

In the weeks following the March conclusion of Season 1, there has been rampant online and media chatter about who has been approached to fill the lead roles — Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain among the rumored contenders. But Pizzolatto said only one person has been approached about joining the second season, but "that has been it." "We haven't cast anybody. I have a secret list and that's it."
As for the rumors about the second season having a female lead? Bogus, too. "Again, it’s a rumor with no basis in fact,” said Pizzolatto, who has written two scripts for the second season. “There is a strong (lead) female character. But I wouldn’t say it is female-led or anything like that.”
True Detective's eight-episode first season, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, is expected to get a lot of love at this year's Emmy Awards. There's a drawback to the critical praise, however, Pizzolatto said: He feels the pressure to deliver in Season 2 and beyond, which may include only one more season.
