Well, at least one of "True Detective‘s" casting mysteries has apparently been solved.

Colin Farrell has told an Irish newspaper that he will appear in Season 2 of the HBO drama, following previous speculation that he and Taylor Kitsch were in talks for two of the anthology series’ leading roles.



The Dublin-born actor told Ireland’s Sunday World, “I’m doing the second series. I’m so excited. I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot.”

Farrell offered no specifics of his role, but did note that filming will take place in Los Angeles.



When reached by TVLine for comment on Sunday, an HBO spokesperson was not at this time able to confirm Farrell’s casting.
