According to The Nerdist, Jessica Chastain has been offered the lead in the second season of True Detective. True Detective, as you already know, is one of the greatest series on tv. As long as you forget about the finale.
Since the series exists in an anthology format, the entire cast and story for Season 2 will be entirely new. Rumors have persisted that creator Nic Pizzolatto was looking for strong female leads for the next season. Jessica Chastain is just that woman although she has yet to sign.
Of course, this means there probably won’t be a scene like with Alexandra Daddario’s boobs. *Hangs head, puts hands in pockets, kicks can*
Update: Sorry, guys. Not happening according to her reps.
