True Detective: Night Country is the fourth season of the HBO anthology crime drama series True Detective. It premiered on January 14, 2024, and consists of eight episodes.

The season is set in the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska, and follows the investigation of the disappearance of eight men from a research station. The season stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro.

The season is subtitled Night Country, a first for the series, and is the first season without Nic Pizzolatto as showrunner or writer. Issa López serves as the showrunner, writer, and director of the season.

The fourth season of “True Detective” is the first season to carry a subtitle. The first episode of the season aired on January 14, 2024, at 9:00 pm ET on HBO. The season features a six-episode run with an individual release date for each episode.

Issa López is a Mexican filmmaker who chose to create a “dark mirror” of the first season, where “True Detective is male and it’s sweaty, Night Country is cold and it’s dark and it’s female”.

López credited John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” Stanley Kubrick’s “The Overlook,” and Ridley Scott’s “Nostromo” as inspiration.
