True Detective Season 4’s Easter Eggs For Previous Seasons Teased By Showrunner: “Big Thing In Episode 6”

Despite its largely independent structure, showrunner Issa Lopez teases that True Detective season 4 contains Easter eggs that connect to the previous seasons. Originally written and created by Nic Pizzolatto, each season of the anthology crime drama follows a different detective or a set of detectives who are forced to confront some horrific truths about their town and themselves. Each season of the show employs a new ensemble cast, and it is usually set in different locations. After first premiering in January 2014, the show received vastly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, winning numerous award including five Emmys. After the show was renewed for a second and third season, a fourth was ordered in early 2022, and it is expected to be released soon.
