HBO has locked its detective duo for the fifth season of True Detective. Antonio Banderas joins Nicolas Cage as the leads, with production scheduled to begin in 2027.
Cage will play Henry Logan, a New York detective, and Banderas will play Rai Garcia. The new season moves the anthology away from the frozen Alaska setting of Night Country and heads to Jamaica Bay, New York. Issa Lopez returns as showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer after leading season 4, the most watched installment in the franchise with 12.7 million cross platform viewers.
Cage hinted at the role during his New York Comic Con spotlight panel last weekend, and HBO confirmed the pairing on social media this morning. It marks the first time Cage and Banderas share the screen. No premiere date is set yet, and further plot and character details remain under wraps.
