Were you wondering what sort of manly men would get into dark and twisted trouble in the third season of True Detective? If so, we’ve got bad news for you: According to a THR profile of new HBO programming head Casey Bloys, a third season of the crime anthology series is probably not on the menu. More likely, sources say, is a different series from creator Nic Pizzolatto, who signed an exclusive deal with HBO last fall. The news is not incredibly surprising — even at the height of True D mania, Pizzolatto said he couldn’t imagine making more than three seasons of the show. There’s no word on what Pizzolatto’s other ideas could be, but knowing what happened in season two, a Hollywood satire is probably out of the question.
