Watch the True Detective season two trailer

The very first trailer for the much-anticipated return of True Detective has been unveiled. The second instalment of the show features a brand new set of characters replacing Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey who led the show in its first season.

Joining the cast this time around is Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams and the season is understood to centre around corruption in the Californian police and doesn’t directly follow the events of the first season, rather the show takes place in a similar environment.

The minute-long teaser, which you can see below, doesn’t feature any actual dialogue but ramps up the anticipation for the show quite handily.

The first season of True Detective was hailed as one of the grittiest, most suspenseful TV dramas of recent years.
