Foxtel has confirmed the premiere date for Season Two of True Detective.

It will air on the same day as the US, screening express at 3:30pm Mondays from June 22 followed by a 7.30pm primetime replay on Showcase.

Foxtel’s release also includes extensive info on the guest cast this year.

A sophisticated, riveting adult drama and a breakout hit for HBO, the first season won critical and audience praise for its compelling storyline and vivid, award-winning performances by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

Created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, with executive producers, Nic Pizzolatto, Steve Golin and Scott Stephens and producer Aida Rodgers, season two will feature a complex, twisting plot, playing out both across the state, and in the seedy netherworld of Vinci, a fictional city in LA County.

A bizarre murder brings together three law- enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in order to reach the truth and find salvation in the scorched wilderness of California.

Colin Farrell is Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective in the all-industrial city of Vinci, in LA County.

Vince Vaughn is Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his life’s work when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of his business partner; while his ally in negotiating the corruption around him, his wife Jordan (Kelly Reilly), struggles with his choices and her own.

Rachel McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective often at odds with the system she serves. And Taylor Kitsch plays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and motorcycle cop for the California Highway Patrol whose leave of absence in the midst of a scandal gets a reprieve when he discovers a crime scene which triggers an investigation involving three law enforcement groups, multiple criminal collusions, and billions of dollars.

Other confirmed cast include Kelly Reilly (Jordan Semyon), Christopher James Baker (Blake Churchman), Afemo Omilami (Police Chief Holloway), Chris Kerson (Nails), James Frain (Lt. Kevin Burris).
