From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.These words have been bolstered by Matthew McConaughey - one of the anthology series' original actors - claiming he'd be interested in reappearing, but on one condition.
The Gold actor was appearing on Rich Eisen's talkshow when the sports announcer asked him if the ball was rolling on a third outing, to which McConaughey replied: "If that thing was written well and it came up again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.”
Of course, McConaughey could only appear should Pizzolatto choose to pick up the story of Rust Cohle and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) despite their story seemingly drawing to a close. Or maybe it'll be a prequel mashup of the first two seasons with Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch. Perhaps Pizzolatto will go full American Horror Story and recast actors as new characters.
Either way, it seems like once Pizzolatto has dusted off the critical mauling he received for season two, HBO will be ready for a third; McConaughey's words have probably only added to the pressure.
You can watch the actor in unrecognisable form as an unlucky businessman in the trailer for crime-adventure film Gold above.
