TVLine Items: True Detective Adds Fiona Shaw, Fleishman Debut and More

Killing Eve vet Fiona Shaw is getting entangled in True Detective‘s case: The actress has joined Season 4 of the HBO drama, which will star Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, our sister site Variety reports.

Officially titled True Detective: Night Country, the latest installment of the series will take place in the frigid Arctic regions of Alaska. “When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace,” per the official description. “To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”

Shaw will play Rose Aguineau, “a survivalist with a past full of secrets.”

Additionally, John Hawkes (Deadwood), Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), Finn Bennett (Domina) and Anna Lambe (Trickster) have also boarded the ensemble. Hawkes will portray a police officer with old grudges, while Eccleston is the regional Chief of Police, who has a long history with Foster’s character.
