HBO will premiere the new drama series True Detective on Sunday, January 12, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, and the network’s showing off a brand new trailer for the much-anticipated series. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Michelle Monaghan, True Detective was written and created by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga.

The Plot:

1995: Detectives Martin Hart and Rust Cohle, partners in Louisiana’s Criminal Investigation Division, are assigned to a macabre murder by a killer with disturbing occult leanings. As they attempt to uncover the secrets of this bizarre crime, their own lives collide and intertwine in unexpected, sometimes catastrophic ways.

2012: When a similar case leads to an investigation of the original ’95 murder by two new detectives, Martin and Rust separately tell the story of both the investigation and their lives, including why Cohle left CID in 2002.
