True Detective unlikely to return for a third season, according to new reports

True Detective is unlikely to return for a third season, according to new reports. 

In a profile of Casey Bloys, the new head of programming at HBO, the Hollywood Reporter reports inside sources that suggest it is more likely that writer and creator Nic Pizzolatto will move on to a brand new project rather than return for a third outing of True Detective. 

The report also states that with the likes of Game Of Thrones, VEEP and Silicon Valley confirmed to return, it is likely that Bloys will want to discover some new projects to make his mark at the network. 

The show's first season starred Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey as troubled detectives trying to catch a serial killer in Louisiana, with the second run starring Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams and switching the setting to a government conspiracy in California.
