22 April 2024

True Detective S4

Stream the latest season of True Detective, True Detective: Night Country, starring Jodie Foster.

When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace.

To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.

Night Country is the most-watched season of True Detective, as well as the best-reviewed, with a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics’ consensus there says: “Frighteningly atmospheric and anchored by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis' superb performances, Night Country is a fresh and frosty variation on True Detective's existential themes,” while The Guardian’s 5/5-star review says, “a blazing Jodie Foster makes this show better than ever before.” Similarly, The Ringer declared True Detective: Night Country the “first can’t-miss show of 2024.”

Showrunner and multiple award winner Issa López writes and directs all episodes, with Oscar winner Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) and True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto among the executive producers. Night Country also features the likes of Oscar nominee John Hawkes (Winter’s Bone), three-time Emmy nominee Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve, Andor), and BAFTA nominee Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers, Doctor Who).

Having topped IMDb’s Most Popular TV charts globally, it’s no surprise HBO has already ordered another season.
