HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys has revealed that work has started on the potential Season 4 of the acclaimed anthology cop show True Detective. Bloys told Deadline that the company had hired new writers to develop the next season.

However, Bloys stressed that the next season of True Detective would only move forward if the story is of a high quality. "It's safe to say we're working with a couple of writers to find the right tone and take," he said. "It's definitely an area that could be very interesting and I think it would be interesting with a new voice. Quality is what's going to guide us so if we end up with scripts that we don't feel are representative or are not at a high enough quality, we're not going to do something just to do it."

According to Deadline, the writers that have been working on ideas for True Detective Season 4 might include Lucia Puenzo, who co-created the Argentinean eco-thriller Cromo, and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson. However, Bloys and HBO have not commented on this.
