Harrelson’s Firm Stance on “True Detective” Revival
Dreyer referenced McConaughey’s earlier remarks to NME, where he expressed openness to returning, contingent upon a quality script. Harrelson, however, firmly stated there is “never” a chance for another installment. He emphasized that the original series concluded perfectly and that a sequel could diminish its legacy.
“Because it turned out great,” Harrelson noted. “If anything, doing another season would, I think, tarnish that.”
