‘True Detective: Night Country’ Teaser: Jodie Foster and Kali Reis Put Their Resentment Aside to Solve Alaska Cold Case (Video)
The official teaser for “True Detective: Night Country” is finally here, and we can expect a less than perfect partnership between detectives played by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis.
In the teaser, which was revealed during Warner Bros. Discovery’s unveiling of the Max streaming service, Foster and Reis must put aside their shared resentment of each other to solve a frigid mystery after six workers disappear in the dangerous Alaskan landscape.
“You think I wanna work with you,” Reis tells Foster in the teaser. “Take a look in the mirror, no one can stand you.”
“We’re just gonna do this one thing: work together to close this case, and that’s it for the two of us,” Foster agrees.
The official logline is as follows: “When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”
The first female duo of the series builds on the legacy of past “True Detective” seasons, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey starring in Season 1, which debuted in 2014; Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch leading Season 2; and Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff starring in Season 3.
