True Detective Season 2 Spoiler: New Story Could Be Set in Southern California

The first season barely ended and there are already spoilers for the second season of "True Detective."

The show's writer Nic Pizzolatto hinted in a recent interview with Buzzfeed that the second season might take place in Southern California.

When asked about what other long-term stories he could write for the next one he revealed a possible location.

"Oh, all kinds of conspiracies suggest themselves," he said. "Especially if, like me, you've been reading about the last 40 years of Southern California government."

He also discussed one of his recent tweets that he deleted, which addressed the show's lack of strong female characters.

"I deleted the tweet because I didn't want to be beholden to a promise and then change my mind," he said. "I'm writing Season 2 right now, but I don't want to divulge any potentialities, because so much could change. I just never want to create from a place of critical placation- that's a dead zone. So I don't want, for instance, a gender-bias-critique to influence what I do."

Pizzolatto revealed earlier in the week that Season 2 will revolve around "hard women," "bad men" and the "secret occult history of the U.S. transportation system."

HBO also fed rabid fans by releasing a 3-minute deleted scene that features detective Rust Cohle discussing his decision not to have children with his girlfriend Lori. This time frame appears to be the 2002 portion of the show right before he breaks up with her. Rust's fear of having children stems from the tragic death of his first daughter. This can be seen in the clip.

This probably would have been a part of episode 6 and would have given the audience a bit more insight as to why this relationship did not work out.
