The creator of ‘True Detective: Night Country,’ Issa López, will be helming the fifth season under her new overall deal with HBO. It’s not a surprise that the show, which originally premiered in 2014, should return for a fifth season given the success of its spinoff ‘Night Country.’

The scriptwriter opened up about creating the fifth season of ‘True Detective’ to be a “completely different adventure” with a host of new characters during her latest Variety interview.

“In the writing,” López teased. “And it’s a blast. It’s completely different. There’s different characters, different setting, different story — and I’m enjoying it like crazy.”

Further speaking on her work on ‘Night Country,’ she said, “From conception to release, ‘Night Country’ has been the most beautiful collaboration and adventure of my entire creative life,”

López said. “HBO trusted my vision all the way, and the idea of bringing to life a new incarnation of ‘True Detective’ with Casey, Francesca and the whole team is a dream come true. I can’t wait to go again.”
