During the Television Critics Association's press tour in Pasadena, California on Wednesday, HBO president of programming Casey Bloys confirmed their deal with Ali to star in True Detective's third season.
"I have read five scripts for a third season," he said. "I'm very very impressed and excited about what I've read. I don't want to give away the storyline, but I really think they're terrific."
Bloys' comments follow his previous statements about wanting to continue on with Emmy-winning anthology ****** created by Nic Pizzolatto (who has an overall deal with the network through 2018). In March, news broke that Deadwood creator David Milch might come on board to take the reigns from Pizzolatto, and there's a good chance that might still happen. "We're open to someone else writing it with Nic supervising it; it's a really valuable franchise for us," Bloys revealed last Summer. "It's **t dead, I'm just **t sure we have the right take for a third Season - yet."
In addition to captivating audiences on the silver screen, Ali has also done his fair share of work on "prestige" TV shows like House of Cards and Luke Cage. In other words, he's a perfect fit.
