Colin Farrell in talks to join TV hit ‘True Detective’

Colin Farrell looks set to return to TV screens for the first time in almost a decade in a lead role in the second series of hit crime drama True Detective.

The critically-acclaimed first series of the HBO drama starred Hollywood heavyweights Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as troubled police detectives attempting to solve a 17-year-old murder case.

But a new set of actors are set to take over the lead roles for season two, with Farrell now reportedly in talks with the show’s producers.
