Season 3 also stars Mamie Gummer (The Good Wife), Stephen Dorff (The Gate) and Carmen Ejogo (Fantastic Beasts). Creator and original showrunner Nic Pizzolatto will helm the writing for all episodes, and will also direct along with Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room). Pizzolatto wrote this season along with Deadwood’s David Milch who is credited as a co-writer.

Hopefully this season might just recapture what made the first season so memorable. We’ll find out in January.
