Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch Officially Join TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2

We've know for two months now that Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch were going to among the leads for the second season of True Detective, but HBO confirmed the news on Monday. Here's what HBO had to say about the latest True Detective update:

RACHEL MCADAMS, TAYLOR KITSCH AND KELLY REILLY JOIN
COLIN FARRELL AND VINCE VAUGHN IN HBO’S TRUE DETECTIVE

The eight-episode hour-long drama has begun production in California.

Logline:
Three police officers and a career criminal must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.

The series is created and written by Nic Pizzolatto. Justin Lin will direct the first two episodes.

Previously announced cast:

Colin Farrell as Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him.

Vince Vaughn as Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.

Newly added cast:

Rachel McAdams as Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves.

Taylor Kitsch as Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle officer for the California Highway Patrol, running from a difficult past and the sudden glare of a scandal that never happened.

Kelly Reilly as Jordan, Frank Semyon’s wife, a former D-list actress who is a full partner in his enterprises and ambitions.

As the press release says, McAdams and Kitsch join the previously announced Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn. This announcement officially rules out Elisabeth Moss, who had long been rumored to be in the running for Season 2 of True Detective.
