The original True Detective starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson was a hit with critics and the public earlier this year.

And now it has been confirmed that another big Hollywood star - Colin Farrell - will be taking the lead role in the next series of the modern noir series.

The 38-year-old actor told Irish newspaper Sunday World: "I'm so excited...I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot.

"I know very little about it, but we're shooting in the environs of Los Angeles, which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids."

The new series has previously been reported to involve a murder amid political intrigue and corruption in California.

Justin Lin has been linked to a directing role on the second season.

Hell down, heave now
Living in the same town
Trying find something new
Broken picture frame
I've been frozen in
Trying to find a better view

This ain't me, this ain't cool
This ain't what I signed up to
This ain't right, it's no good
No good, oh

Everything is changing
And I've been here for too long
Going through the same things
I've been hurt and done wrong,
got to move on
Say I
I can't do this anymore
If everything is changing
then I know, yeah gotta let it
oh oh oh (...)

Got to let go
oh oh oh (...)
Got to let go

I don't understand playing by the same hand
How you find something new
I can't work it out, what it's all about
I won't live my life through you

This ain't real, this ain't true
This ain't what I signed up to
This ain't right, it's no good
No good, oh

Everything is changing
And I've been here for too long
Going through the same things
I've been hurt and done wrong, got to move on
Say I
I can't do this anymore
If everything is changing
then I know, yeah oh oh oh (...)
Gotta let it oh oh oh oh (...)

Got to let go
oh oh oh (...)
Got to let go

I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
I've been here for too long
Everything is changing
