HBO’s ‘True Detective’ is one of the most polarizing TV shows of this generation. Season 1 received widespread acclaim for its content, going on to receive several Emmy nominations. However, the second edition didn’t receive that much love from the audiences and garnered mixed reviews. That didn’t stop the network from renewing the show for another edition and Season 3 also turned out to be really successful. The show is set to make a comeback for another season on HBO and seems it has already attached a legendary name to it.

The network has revealed that after a prolonged round of negotiations, Jodie Foster, has been tapped to star in the upcoming fourth edition of ‘True Detective’. Although all the additional details about her character are still under wraps, but we know that she will be portraying the role of Detective Liz Danvers on the show.
