True Detective has to be one of the most brilliant anthology mystery thriller shows ever made. Originally created by Nic Pizzolatto, the HBO series told a dark and haunting tale through the brilliant performances by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in its first season. The quality of the series took a nosedive in its second season and the third season while better from Season 2 didn’t really match the expectation that the inaugural season of True Detective set. Now, we are in Season 4 titled Night Country and with a new creative force behind the series, the fans are getting exactly what they want. So, if you have already finished the much awaited Season 4 of True Detective and are hoping for a renewal, here are some similar shows you could watch while waiting for the new season.

Chris Pine doesn’t have a to-do list, but that doesn’t mean his career choices aren’t intentional. Mostly, the actor and producer told IndieWire, he looks for projects with a single defining characteristic: They have to be great. Over the course of the past two decades, that’s led Pine to a variety of gigs, and the multi-hyphenate has managed to fit films like his current releases (adult-themed dramas “The Contractor” and “All the Old Knives”) alongside more mainstream stuff, like the upcoming “Dungeons & Dragons” feature and the “Wonder Woman” and “Star Trek” franchises.
As Pine readies to make the jump to directing, he’s hanging his career on something a bit more zen than you might expect from such a star. As he’ll explain, really, he’s just “following the giggle.”

Thursday night. November 2017. I was tucked away in a rented house secretly writing a TV pilot based on Octavia Butler's novel Dawn. Patty Jenkins had called that morning to ask if I'd like to direct two episodes of her and Sam Sheridan's series One Day She'll Darken after a fierce competition for the job. Between these two adventures, I genuinely didn't want for anything. I was creatively filled to the brim.

In Hollywood, playing by the rules doesn’t cut it, especially as they keep changing. After directing her 2003 feature debut “Monster,” which won Charlize Theron the Best Actress Oscar, Patty Jenkins was inundated with offers to direct. They just weren’t what she was looking for. And when she decided to direct television for money – and movies for love – her advisers counseled her against it. But she helped to launch “Arrested Development” on Fox and AMC mystery series “The Killing,” and landed an Emmy nomination and DGA win for that 2011 pilot.
When Marvel changed direction on a superhero movie Jenkins had agreed to make, and proceeded with “Thor” instead, Jenkins withdrew as director. She knew that the odds were not in her favor, and should the movie not come out well, she’d be held more accountable than any male director. Things worked out: she had more passion for and...

“The truth was being held in a bottle too tight, for too long,” says I Am the Night director and Ep Patty Jenkins about the enigmatic story of teenager Fauna Hodel, whose search for her real mother in 1960s Los Angeles plunged her into the city’s underbelly.
Fauna Hodel was a white girl raised by her adoptive black mother who believed she was of mixed racial origins. Fauna (played by India Eisley on the TNT series) learned that she was adopted under fraught circumstances and darted to La to find her mother Tamar. Fauna discovers that her grandfather is George Hodel, a perverse doctor, abortionist and lover of creepy erotic art who was part of the city’s 1% and a key suspect in the 1947 Black Dahlia murder.
Jenkins met the real Fauna in 2008 and originally wanted to adapt her memoir One Day She’ll Darken as a movie. Fauna...

Chris Pine’s character didn’t have a drug problem in “I Am the Night,” but he did do a lot of drugs.
“The joke was Jay’s got a lot of problems, but drugs aren’t really a problem,” writer and executive producer Sam Sheridan said, speaking at TNT’s Fyc event for the program. “They’re like a symptom, [but] we didn’t want to make it [about that].”
Still, as Jay Singletary, Pine felt like a bit of a loser, especially when the limited series’ fictional protagonist met up with its real-life hero, Fauna Hodel (played by India Eisley).
“I felt creepy, you know?” Pine said. “It was that weird dynamic where you have the leading man and the leading lady, and you think something romantic may happen, but it can’t happen. So you have to toe this line, and we play it in one episode that was odd […] in Hawaii.

“This is a story I’ve known for so long, and had tried to do many times before,” reveals Patty Jenkins about “I Am the Night.” Based on the book “One Day She’ll Darken,” this TNT limited series tells the true story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a teenager who discovers she isn’t who she thinks she is. She connects with a disgraced reporter (Chris Pine) to uncover her dark family secrets, which involve the 1947 “Black Dahlia” murder. Watch our exclusive video interview with Jenkins above.

Recalling scenes shot many months prior isn’t always the easiest task, but when you’re trying to do so from the recesses of a labyrinthine restroom within a suspected serial killer’s house, well, it’s a bit harder still. Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins, the star and director of TNT’s limited series “I Am the Night,” are trying to remember one such scene while tucked inside a corner of the Sowden House — a shooting location for the show and former home to suspected Black Dahlia killer, George Hodel.
“It is absolutely written on purpose,” Patty Jenkins said, perched on the edge of a cushy chair that doesn’t really belong in an ornate master bath. Lounging next to her is Chris Pine, who just a few moments ago — while using his excellent Hannibal Lecter impression — joked about the nearby koi pond being part of his preposterous movie star demands.

For the cast and crew of TNT’s new mystery drama “I Am the Night,” filming in the John Sowden House was all too real. Nicknamed the “Jaws House” for its sharklike facade, the famous Los Angeles residence was once home to Dr. George Hodel, a well known Hollywood gynecologist in the 1940s and prime suspect in the Black Dahlia case.
The limited series tells the true story of Fauna Hodel, a young girl played by India Eisley who finds out that she’s Dr. Hodel’s biological granddaughter. Alongside Jay Singletary (Chris Pine), a washed up journalist obsessed with the Black Dahlia murder, the two delve into the secrets of the past and soon get twisted up in the surreal world of Dr. Hodel.
Variety spoke with the stars of the show, along with director Patty Jenkins, at Thursday’s premiere at the Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles.

TNT’s I Am the Night feels like a show from another time, and not because the mystery limited series takes place in 1965 Los Angeles. Rather, it seems a throwback to five years ago, when the television business was racing to copy the success of True Detective Season One with a variety of anthological crime stories, often set in the past and/or featuring movie stars not known for working on the small screen. In Peak TV, five years is an eternity, enough time for the True Detective phenomenon to have cratered,...

Finding a new way into an old story is a framework to which television is uniquely suited, but it’s also trickier than it may seem. A show can take its time delving into different chapters of any single narrative, broadening and deepening perspectives that other adaptations may have given short shrift. But in trying to be comprehensive, a show can also default to tried-and-true tropes by flattening the characters into facsimiles rather than fleshing them out as people.

A Tuesday night in December at London’s massive Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden complex, Patty Jenkins and Chris Pine are nearing the end of their third collaboration as director and actor. It’s one of Pine’s final days of shooting on “Wonder Woman 1984,” the breathlessly anticipated superhero sequel due out next year, and Jenkins, perched on a couch in her trailer, is trying to convince her star to stay a few more days for the wrap party. “We should talk about Saturday,” she insists.
“You see people drunk,” Pine says, “who you don’t want to see drunk.”
Jenkins laughs. “You’ll be too busy carrying me!”

India Eisley grew up on sets because her mother was an actress, and she booked her first role when she was only 10 years old. Her 15-year career has thus far consisted of quite a few films in addition to television (“The Secret Life of the American Teenager”). Now, Eisley portrays the real-life Fauna Hodel, a woman who grew up believing she was mixed race, only to learn some dark truths about her origin story much later in life, in TNT’s limited series “I Am The Night.”

Director Patty Jenkins has released a new trailer on Twitter for TNT's highly anticipated limited suspense drama, I Am the Night, starring Chris Pine.
So excited to share this trailer for #IAmTheNight, starring the most amazing Chris Pine and @IndiaEisleyLife. This story was dying to be told and we loved telling it. Can’t wait for you all to see! Premieres January 28! @IAmTheNightTNT
Written by Sam Sheridan and inspired by true events, I Am the Night tells the gripping story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley of Secret Life of the American Teenager), a teenage girl who is given away at birth, and grows up outside of Reno, Nevada.
Fauna lives more-or-less comfortably with the mysteries of her origin, until one day she makes a discovery that leads her to question everything.
As Fauna begins to investigate the secrets of her past, she meets a ruined reporter (Chris Pine), haunted by the case that undid him.

Tell the average TV viewer that there’s a new show coming up where Chris Pine shouts the phrase “Can ya dig it??!?” and their first thought would probably not be “Black Dahlia murder connection complete with an animal-mask cult party.”
But those two things are pretty explicitly connected in “I Am the Night,” the upcoming six-part TNT series from director Patty Jenkins and writer Sam Sheridan. Pine plays Jay Singletary, a would-be reporter looking into the mystery of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), an La transplant who stumbles onto a dark secret in a strange new city.
While the first trailer centered on Pine’s detective character (in various states of undress), this new look is firmly centered on the Fauna’s experiences. As she finds herself far deeper in over her head than anyone involved in this saga realizes, Singletary is hot on the trail. “I Am the Night...

While the first trailer centered on Pine’s detective character (in various states of undress), this new look is firmly centered on the Fauna’s experiences. As she finds herself far deeper in over her head than anyone involved in this saga realizes, Singletary is hot on the trail. “I Am the Night...

Just as Patty Jenkins and Chris Pine popped the self-serious bubble suffocating DC movies with “Wonder Woman,” the burgeoning duo elevates what could have been another bleak cable drama to pulpy, twisted fun.
Written by Jenkins’ husband Sam Sheridan (“Warrior”), TNT’s six-episode limited series “I Am the Night” has all the hallmarks of a made-to-order “prestige” period drama. Set in 1965, there’s a wayward girl in trouble, a suffering hero in need of redemption, and dismembered bodies that could somehow connect to a sex cult. Familiar and edgy, it’s a classic noir made for modern TV. (Did I mention the sex cult uses animal masks?)
TNT first resurrected the period crime genre with “The Alienist,” an outdated and needlessly grim adaptation that nonetheless proved successful. However, the network’s second attempt at a dark and gritty limited series is far more enticing through the pilot. Jenkins adds visual...

“Wonder Woman 1984” is still more than a year away, but we only have to wait six months to see one “Wonder Woman” reunion: Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins’ TNT limited series “I Am the Night,” which dropped its first trailer Monday.
The L.A.-set noir drama is based on the book “One Day She’ll Darken,” which tells the true story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a young woman who, after learning she’s adopted, uncovers her dark family history that involves Dr. George Hodel (Jefferson Mays), an infamous gynecologist connected to the 1947 “Black Dahlia” murder.
Pine plays Jay Singletary, a Marine-turned-reporter/paparazzo who jumps on the story and takes phone calls shirtless when he’s not cruising around in period suits. The cast also includes Leland Orser, Dylan Smith, Jay Paulson, Yul Vazquez, Justin Cornwell and Golden Brooks. Jenkins directed the pilot and serves as executive producer,...

Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins are teaming up for TNT’s “I Am the Night” limited series — and it looks like it will be creepier than “Wonder Woman.”
In the first trailer for the thriller — originally titled “One Day She’ll Darken” — Pine plays reporter Jay Singletary, who gets wrapped up in the story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a young girl who is searching for her identity after learning she was adopted. Things take a dark turn when her search uncovers a thread that connects to the 1974 “Black Dahlia” murder.
Pine’s character explains that there’s a 15-year-old case that “this girl” knows all about. He finds Fauna and begins to dig deeper into the investigation, but it seems pretty clear that there’s someone out there who doesn’t want him to keep investigating.

La’s Finest is go! Canadian broadcaster Bell Media has revealed that it has struck a deal with Sony Pictures Television for the Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union-fronted spin-off of the Bad Boys film franchise. It will air the 13-episode series on one of its specialty entertainment channels.

The series stars Union as Syd Burnett, last seen in Miami taking down a drug cartel, having left her complicated past behind to become an Lapd detective and pursue all the fun La offers. But things get a little crazy when her new partner, Nancy McKenna, played by Alba, a working mom with an equally complex past, learns that Syd’s unapologetic lifestyle might be masking a greater personal secret.
