Entertainment news was abuzz after word broke that a release date for True Detective 5 is slated for 2027. Shortly thereafter, the oddsmakers at BetUS released its The True Detective odds for those who have followed the American anthology crime series throughout its first four seasons and are looking forward to this next iteration.
BetUS has captured the novelty props market and its latest entry will be intriguing to those who have speculated about the True Detective cast for Season 5 of the critically acclaimed series. Betting on entertainment has become a staple of our novelty props market and BetUS has over 40 possible names with corresponding odds as to which actors will get the gig as the main detectives.
Unfortunately, the two-time Academy Award-winning actress, Jodie Foster, will not be reprising her role as Detective Liz Danvers nor will her hard-hitting partner, former world champion boxer Kali Reis, return to play the role of Detective Evangeline Navarro.
However, True Detective Season 4 (Night Country) showrunner Issa López will return at the helm but the series locale will shift from the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska to Jamaica Bay, New York, an estuary on the southern portion of the western tip of Long Island.
HBO’s head of drama series, Francesca Orsi said “Issa has a lot to say, not unlike she did with Night Country. It’s a different milieu but just as powerful.”
Orsi added, “I’m really excited about it. We have a small writers’ room going with Issa; she’s excited. We just gave notes on the first two episodes, the entire season. Honestly, I can’t wait for this to go. It’s all about casting and getting this ready.”
Casting indeed, as that is precisely what BetUS’s betting odds are centered around. One of the betting board’s big favorites has celebrated English actress and Academy Award winner Olivia Colman installed as one of the main detectives in the upcoming series.
However, there are literally dozens of names from which to choose and some of them are also household names like Ed Norton, Benicio Del Toro, Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, and even Kate Winslet of Titanic fame. Hollywood is dripping with talent and True Detective has been able to attract the very best from Matthew McConaughey, to Woody Harrelson, to Colin Farrell, and of course, the inimitable Jodie Foster.
Those who long for the continuation of the Night Country arc will get a bit of satisfaction in Season 5 despite an entirely new cast, new setting, and a different plot according to HBO.
“There’s going to be some important connections between everything that happens in Ennis, Alaska, and the characters in Ennis, Alaska, and what happens in the new [season],” said returning showrunner Lopez.
BetUS is here for all of it and a quick visit to our novelty props market will reveal our myriad of trending topics that are being discussed this very minute at office watercoolers around the globe.
Trending topics regarding AI, the Vatican, and even the price of eggs on the shelf are all part and parcel of our extensive and comprehensive novelty props market. BetUS is the undisputed leader in this new, quirky, and fun betting market that is growing by the day!
Although tastes vary, Season 1 is widely considered the best starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
While the finale for the latest season has not even been shot yet, there is little doubt the creative oddsmakers at BetUS will miss an opportunity to include the ‘True Detective Season 5’ finale on its novelty props betting menu.
