The critically acclaimed HBO crime series, True Detective, consistently draws high-profile actors for its main characters, and it appears that the upcoming fifth season will carry on this pattern of success.
According to reports, Nicolas Cage is supposedly discussing potential roles with a well-respected American television network for an upcoming series, possibly taking on the lead after actors like Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Mahershala Ali, and Jodie Foster, among others.
The basic concept of the anthological drama remains unclear, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the storyline is expected to shift from the gloomy and isolated landscape of Night Country in Alaska, to the contrastingly vibrant Jamaica Bay, New York.
Showrunner Issa Lopez, who took over Night Country from its original creator Nic Pizzolatto, is anticipated to resume her role behind the camera. Under her leadership, the series has seen its highest viewership numbers yet in its latest season.
The critics were generally favorable towards the show’s season, particularly commending Foster and actress-turned-boxer Kali Reis. Notably, Foster won an Emmy for her portrayal of Liz Danvers, a weary and mourning police chief.
It is likely that Cage will take on the role of another detective in the series, with the actor making a resurgence over the past ten years due to his performances in notable independent films such as Mandy, Pig, and Longlegs, as well as his popular portrayal of Spider-Man Noir.
Initially, Miles Morales as the revamped version of Marvel’s spiderman made his debut in the animated movie “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. This character has gained such an immense following that a live-action spin-off series based on him is now set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video.
Although Cage regained popularity following several poorly received movies in the 2010s, he hasn’t won any significant awards since then, despite a nomination for the Golden Globe in 2024’s Dream Scenario.
The original sentence is grammatically correct, but the paraphrased version provides a more natural flow and simplifies the structure to make it easier to understand.
In simpler terms, Harrelson, McConaughey, Ali, and Foster each received a Primetime Emmy nomination for their roles in different seasons of True Detective. However, among them, only the lead actor from Night Country managed to win the award.
Despite a somewhat disappointing second season in 2015, the show’s significant reputation continues to make it an alluring opportunity for Hollywood stars. However, Nicholas Cage has not yet confirmed his involvement in the project, so while it’s certainly promising, fans may want to curb their enthusiasm for now.
True Detective: Night Country is available on Sky and NOW.
