Iconic Character's Potential Comeback Could Be a Game-Changer For True Detective 4
True Detective fans have been on the edge of their seats ever since the possibility of a fourth season of the popular HBO series was announced.
While viewers have been speculating about what the next chapter might bring, one thing is for sure — the arrival of Rust Cohle could be jaw-dropping.
Played by Matthew McConaughey, Rust Cohle is one of the most iconic characters in the show's history. His philosophical musings and deep, brooding personality have captivated audiences from the beginning.
While previous installments of True Detective have been met with mixed reviews, the return of Rust could reinvigorate the show and recapture the magic that made the first season so popular.
Reddit is currently speculating about Rust Cohle's return. While re-watching season 1, user LegendRising12 noticed that the famous detective moved to Alaska for 8 years for the break.
The next installment will also take place in a small town in this snowy American state.
The plot will tell about two detectives, played by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, who are investigating a mysterious case. Six researchers disappear without a trace and it's up to the cops to track them down.
The fan doubts that the legendary Rust Cohle will appear in the new season, but they do not definitively deny the possibility. He could be heavily involved in this investigation.
Viewers say they would be shocked to see the iconic character in the new season of True Detective. A small mention or cameo would be appropriate, but fans don't like the idea of making Rust a protagonist in a new installment at all.
Some even point out the third season did a great job with fan service, so it's not worth adding their favorite character in the chapter 4.
The Rust Cohle's arc ended on a great note, and now viewers are worried that bringing the character back might hurt the storyline badly or not fit into season four at all.
Rust Cohle's appearance could potentially reinvigorate the entire series, but it could also cause the massive flop that destroys the show.
True Detective season 4 is set to premiere at the end of this year.
