Colin Farrell is officially set to return to his TV roots after signing on to star in the second season of the hit crime drama True Detective.
The Phone Booth star will take on a lead role in the next run of the anthology series, which debuted to critical acclaim earlier this year.
"I'm doing the second series. I'm so excited," Farrell tells Ireland's Sunday World newspaper.
The Los Angeles-based actor admits he knows few other details about the upcoming production but he is grateful to be able to remain close to home during the shoot.
"I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot," he says.
