The new season, set in Jamaica Bay, New York, will go into production in 2027. Antonio Banderas Joins Nicolas Cage for True Detective Season 5: Report Liz Shannon Miller
For over a year , Nicolas Cage has been rumored to star in the fifth season of True Detective, something he quasi-confirmed was happening at New York Comic-Con last weekend. Now, he may have a new partner, or nemesis? Multiple outlets including Deadline are reporting that Antonio Banderas has also joined Season 5 of HBO’s Emmy-winning series, to be showrun by Season 4 writer/director Issa López.
The only confirmed facts so far, per Deadline, are that Cage will play a character named Henry Logan and Banderas will play a character named Rai Garcia. One or both of them will likely be detectives. Also, an important detail for any True Detective season is its location, with this one reportedly set in Jamaica Bay, New York. Production will begin in 2027.
Cage made his TV debut earlier this year in the bugnuts Prime Video/Marvel Comics series Spider-Noir , while Banderas previously starred in Nat Geo’s anthology series Genius as Pablo Picasso, for which he received an Emmy nomination.
