Nic Pizzolatto and Matthew McConaughey re-team for FX crime drama 'Redeemer'
After six long years, Nic Pizzolatto and Matthew McConaughey are reuniting for an exclusive crime drama titled True Detective Season 2 - I mean - Redeemer!
Here's what we know -
Pizzolatto will serve as series showrunner and Executive Producer with McConaughey set to star as a former minister turned "dissolute" security guard, whose search for a missing Texas woman leads him through corruption and criminal conspiracy shrouded in a mystery of violence and deceit. I mean, if this doesn't sound like a more grounded version of the 'present-day Rustin Cohle' we all came to love, than I don't know what does?!
Pizzolatto's adaptation was inspired by Patrick Coleman’s modern-day noir novel - The Churchgoer - and was given a script-to-series order from FX as part of production deals inked between Pizzolatto, McConaughey, and Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions (FXP). The deal reunites the Emmy-winning duo in a series that is definitely riding the wave of one of the greatest first seasons in the history of television. A series that, many would argue, served as the TRUE catalyst that officially kicked off the era we know to be as the MCCONNAISANCE.
It's a good bet FX puts this on the fast track.
Stay tuned!
