Previously reported rumors regarding Colin Farrell's joining TRUE DETECTIVE can finally cease.

According to Gawker, the actor confirmed that Farrell is, in fact, set to join the HBO show for Season 2.

"I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot," Farrell said. "I know very little about it, but we're shooting in the environs of Los Angeles which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids."

Also rumored to be starring in this season are Elizabeth Moss, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch, perhaps to fill the role of the third lead.

The first season of the series was written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga. It centered on two detectives, Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana.

The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened.
