For this go-around, we're shining a spotlight on Showrunner Issa López's Emmy-nominated Jodie Foster and Kali Reis-starring True Detective: Night Country As was confirmed earlier this year, the fifth season of the hit HBO anthology series will not be a direct continuation of "Night Country" (Foster and Reis won't be returning), but López noted that there will[...]
