The series revolves around Detectives Liz Danvers (portrayed by Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro, who embark on a mission to unravel the mystery of six men who vanished without a trace while operating the Tsalal Arctic Research Station. Their disappearance coincides with the onset of the long winter night in Ennis, Alaska.

Notably, “True Detective: Night Country” marks the series’ first season without its creator, Nic Pizzolatto.

“True Detective” originally premiered on HBO in 2014 and gained critical acclaim for its first season. Subsequent seasons, while not reaching the same level of acclaim, have continued to captivate audiences. With “True Detective: Night Country,” viewers can look forward to another gripping chapter in the series, set against the chilling backdrop of the Arctic.
