Two New True Detective Season 2 Trailers Land

If you weren't already a little too excited about the upcoming second season of HBO's critically-acclaimed drama series True Detective, allow these two new teaser trailers - both 30 seconds in length - to push you over the edge into clapping-hands-and-stomping-feet territory. Perhaps.

Of course, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrellson have nothing to do with this new season, with all-new characters in an all-new location dealing with the darkest side of crime.

The setting this time is the Californian industrial city of Vinci, home to various characters including compromised detective Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell), crime boss Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn), more honest 'tec Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams) as well as war veteran and motorcycle cop Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch), who serves on the California Highway Patrol.

It’s shaping up to be a stylish, brooding and dark series once again, even with the change in circumstances and cast. Once more written by creator Nic Pizzolatto, it debuts across the pond on June 21 and should be hitting these shores via Sky Atlantic shortly after that.
