True Detective Season 2 Release Date, Cast Spoilers: 3 Lead Actors or 1 Male Lead - HBO Script Leak Contradicts Rumors

True Detective Season 2 spoilers are continuing to emerge, and in the latest round of rumors, it appears that part of the script for the new season has been leaked online, which indicates that Season 2 will star just one male lead.

For months now there have been rumors swirling about the cast for Season 2 of the hit TV show. Various names, even including Brad Pitt, had been touted to be connected to Season 2, and many rumors had suggested that the new season would feature one male and one female lead.

However, the latest alleged leak seems to indicate that producers and script writers have opted for a single male lead for Season 2.

Producers have enjoyed allowing rumors to swirl and their past comments have even revealed slightly contradictory statements about the new season. But if the new script leak is correct then many of the past rumors about the cast and new season can be put to rest.

The leaked first script for True Detective Season 2 seems to indicate that there will be one male lead, along with a number of male and female co-stars. That would contradict comments made by creator Nic Pizzolatto, who previously had said the new season would feature three leads.

However, some believe that the new leak does not entirely contradict Pizzolatto's comments, and believe that the leaked script's description of "male/female co-stars" would account for the other two leads as well as the main male lead.

Names who have been connected with the parts for Season 2 have included Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, although after months of rumors, nothing form has yet been confirmed.

Either way, if the leaked script is authentic it would indicate that the production is well underway, and making significant progress already – which of course is extremely exciting for fans of the series.

True Detective Season 1 proved to be a smash hit with fans, and co-starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. They in fact are both also producers for the HBO crime drama.

Season 1 focused its plot around two Louisiana police detectives and the shocking challenges they experience as they investigate the case of a serial killer.

The plot of True Detective Season 2 though will be significantly different in many ways, according to Pizzolatto. The new season is tentatively expected to have a release date on HBO in January 2015.
