‘True Detective’ Season 2 Spoilers; Vince Vaughn Is The Villain Hunted By Three Different Investigators! Elizabeth Moss Takes The Tough Female Lead Role!

More plot and cast details emerge from "True Detective" Season 2. As expected, it centers on a murder investigation which is more complicated than it seems. There are certain differences though.

The Wrap has gathered some juicy casting news and plot spoilers about the second season of the HBO hit series. It's not a continuation of the first breakthrough season and it will feature entirely new characters (sadly) and new actors. This is what The Wrap Shared:

"The second season of True Detective will follow the death of Ben Caspar, the corrupt city manager of a fictional California city who's found brutally murdered amid a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change freeway gridlock in the state. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought.

Caspar's 52-year-old corpse is found on a lonely stretch of Pacific Coast Highway near Big Sur - satanic symbols etched on his chest. It turns out he had a penchant for rough sex and may have been involved in the occult."

The Wrap previously reported that the second season of "True Detective" will have three lead stars composed of two men and one woman. However, in a recent interview, series creator Nic Pizzolatto has said there will be four leads. The report is accurate with the three investigators, but Pizzolatto often referred to the season's primary antagonist as a 'lead role' as well. The Wrap also says that Pizzolatto "was writing the role with movie star Vaughn in mind, which explains the discrepancy in semantics."

Previous rumors of Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch fills out the two lead investigators but it is mentioned that they are not exactly partners the way Rust and Marty was in Season 1. The lead female role was reportedly offered to Elizabeth Moss of "Mad Men."

The Wrap reports on this: "Moss, who recently played a small-town cop in the similarly themed, "Top of the Lake," is being eyed to play Ani Bezzerides, a tough, no-nonsense Monterey sheriff whose troubled upbringing has driven her to gambling and alcohol."

HBO has not commented on these reported spoilers so it remains to be seen whether they all pan out.
