Nicolas Cage has found his next big project as he is now in talks to star in the highly anticipated season 5 of True Detective.
Following the massive success of Night Country, fans are now looking forward to hearing updates on the next season of the hit HBO anthology series. Most importantly, there is a lot of anticipation about which A-list star they will cast to lead the upcoming installment. Now, it looks like they are eyeing another Oscar winner for the coveted main role.
Who is Starring in True Detective Season 5?
According to Variety, Oscar winner Nicolas Cage is currently nearing a deal to star in True Detective season 5.
The details regarding the role that he will be playing in the hit show's next season are still under wraps, but he will likely play the main detective character who will be investigating the case.
This will mark Cage's second foray into television since he is also starring in the upcoming Spider-Noir series on MGM+/Prime Video, which is the live-action spinoff of his Spider-Man Noir character in the Spider-Verse movies. It is set to premiere in 2026.
Cage will also follow in the footsteps of his fellow Oscar winners, such as Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, and Mahershala Ali, and fellow A-listers, such as Vince Vaughn, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, and Rachel McAdams, who all starred in past seasons of the series.
No casting announcement has been made yet for the other main roles in the upcoming seasons, so fans should wait for more news and updates in the coming weeks or months.
