As of October 31st, 2025, Woody Harrelson has firmly rejected the possibility of reprising his role as Det. Marty Hart in a new season of the critically acclaimed HBO series 'True Detective'. In a recent interview, the 64-year-old actor expressed his reluctance to return to the show, stating that doing another season would "tarnish" the original's success.
Harrelson's co-star, Matthew McConaughey, had previously indicated his openness to revisiting the series, saying it would only happen "if Woody and I think it's good enough." However, Harrelson was quick to shut down that idea, saying "Never. Not a chance."
Despite his unwillingness to return to 'True Detective', Harrelson did reveal that he and McConaughey are collaborating on a new project together. The two actors are set to appear as themselves in an upcoming half-hour comedy series titled 'Brother From Another Mother', which will follow their attempts to live together on McConaughey's Texas ranch. The series is expected to air on Apple TV, though no release date has been announced.
