Matthew McConaughey And Woody Harrelson Could Reunite For More ‘True Detective'
True Detective
HBO
True Detective has been a bizarre adventure in serialization, the first season being one of the best detective stories put to television, and the others being a rollercoaster of quality culminating in the recent True Detective: Night Country, which formed some tenuous links to season 1.
But those links could bear fruit. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto told the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast that there's an idea that may reunite Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson's Marty Hart. And the actors are open to the idea.
'I actually have another story for Cohle and Hart that — who knows? — maybe we'll do it one day,' Pizzolatto said. 'It's character-based again. … But it's not something I've written or anything. It's just, I had that in my head. And we've talked about getting back together and doing it, and I think the guys are open to it. It's just a question of whether that would ever happen or not.'
So, would this potentially be season 5 of True Detective? No, it wouldn't. It may not be broad knowledge, but season 5 is already greenlit with Night Country's showrunner Issa López back for more. So, if this Cohle and Hart season did exist, we would likely not see it for years, especially if it's still in the concept phase. We do not have a release window for López's season 5 at this point either, though no doubt that's further along.

The series has spanned a decade now, which has produced four seasons. There was a very short gap between seasons 1 and 2, a year and a half, before switching to 4-5 year gaps to get to season 3 and season 4.
As for what the new Cohle and Hart storyline would be, Pizzolato does not go into that here. Night Country featured Rust Cohle's father and had the 'spiral' mythology return, but that was about it. Season 1 ended without the 'bad guys' getting taken down in full, the large-spanning, abusive cult. Presumably, this would have to be a story taking place in their later years, as I'm trying to imagine how more flashbacks would work, but who knows.
One thing that I think was missing from all the other seasons of True Detective was director Cary Joji Fukunaga. Pizzolatto only seems like one part of the puzzle, but it was Fukunaga's direction that rounded out the season and made it what it was. And you can feel his absence in the other, lesser seasons. Fukunaga went on to direct shows like Masters of the Air and Maniac, and films like No Time to Die and Beasts of No Nation. It's unclear if it would be possible to get him to return, not just the actors.
I would certainly be interested to see where this project could go, but if it does happen, it seems like it would be a long, long way off.

Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner pack on the PDA during Knicks-Pacers Game 5
The post Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner pack on the PDA during Knicks-Pacers Game 5 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner looked very much in love as the New York Knicks faced the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks superfan and beauty mogul have been dating for around two years and were seen on celebrity row speaking closely and sharing a few kisses. Jenner previously attended Game 5 of the Knicks and Boston Celtics' Eastern Conference Semifinals alongside Chalamet. She had a memorable moment when she celebrated the Knicks' win with her best friend Jordyn Woods. The model is dating Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns. The Dune star and Jenner have also attended the US Open together and first caught the attention of fans at a Beyoncé concert back in 2023. The couple has attended the 2025 Oscars together and the 2025 BAFTAs but they made their red carpet debut earlier this month at the 70th David di Donatello ceremony. Jenner stepped out in a black gown with Chalamet in a black velvet blazer. In their recent formal appearances as a couple, the Khy founder has opted for black gowns which she said she wore to not necessarily draw too much attention. 'I think it just like happened that way,' the Kylie Cosmetics founder told Harper's Bazaar. 'Even, recently I was like, 'I can't wear another black dress.' And then of course the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up,' she said. 'Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns that I've been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention-grabbing in the best way. You can never go wrong with a black dress,' Jenner told the publication. Chalamet has been a Knicks fan since high school despite his recent fame on the sideline of the Knicks playoff series. In Game 4 of the series which the Knicks fell to the Pacers, 121-130, the actor did not look too happy with the referees calls. However, that was not the case tonight as the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94 in Game 5 at New York's Madison Square Garden to force a Game 6 in Indianapolis bringing the series to 3-2.

Kylie Jenner shares NSFW meme on how she and Timothée Chalamet celebrate Knicks win
The post Kylie Jenner shares NSFW meme on how she and Timothée Chalamet celebrate Knicks win appeared first on ClutchPoints. When the New York Knicks win, it's a good day in New York, but for Kylie Jenner and Timothèe Chalamet, it's an even better night. Jenner and Chalamet have been dating for nearly two years now, but the two have kept their relationship as private as possible. However, the beauty mogul gave fans a peek into their romance with an NSFW meme from the HBO classic, Sex and the City. 'And when did we start caring about basketball?' Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) asks in the clip that Jenner reposted on TikTok. 'Don is obsessed,' Samantha (Kim Cattrall) replies, referring to her boyfriend at the time. 'I don't get laid unless the Knicks win.' Jenner has accompanied Chalamet, a Knicks superfan, to two games during the NBA playoffs. During the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks faced the Boston Celtics. Jenner was on celebrity row alongside her sister, Kendall Jenner, for Game 4. She even had a viral moment with her friend, Jordyn Woods, who is dating Karl-Anthony Towns on the Knicks, when they celebrated the team winning courtside. The Knicks ended up winning that series 4-2. Now, the Knicks are playing the Indiana Pacers, where the Pacers are leading the series 3-2. Jenner was in Madison Square Garden for Game 5 with the Knicks winning 94-111. The two packed on the PDA as they watched the Knicks' back up against the wall and cementing themselves back into the series. Jenner has came to support Chalamet on several occasions throughout their relationship including being on his side for the BAFTAs, Oscars, Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and the Golden Globes. Despite making all of those appearances, they never walked the red carpet together until earlier this month when they attended the David Di Donatello Awards. The Khy founder opted for a plunged black gown and the Dune star wore a black velvet tuxedo jacket. Fans have been noticing Jenner's change for these large events and gave some insight about why she made that decision. 'I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention-grabbing in the best way,'the mom of two told Harper's Bazaar. 'You can never go wrong with a black dress.'
