But now, Netflix has some good news for fans of that season, albeit no, Rust Cohle is not returning to screens.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening, however, is that Matthew McConaughey is reuniting with <em>True Detective<\/em> creator Nic Pizzolatto. <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/08\/matthew-mcconaughey-cole-hauser-netflix-nic-pizzolatto-1236497270\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/08\/matthew-mcconaughey-cole-hauser-netflix-nic-pizzolatto-1236497270\/\" aria-label=\"Reportedly, this project was the subject of a bidding war\">Reportedly, this project was the subject of a bidding war<\/a> between Apple, Amazon and Netflix before Netflix finally won out.<\/p>\n<p>The show also co-stars Cole Houser, who previously was in <em>Dazed and Confused<\/em> with McConaughey back in 1993. It\u2019s a tangled web here, a bit. Houser was a star in <em>Yellowstone<\/em>, and McConaughey was recently considered for a <em>Yellowstone <\/em>spin-off that ultimately never happened. And this new show was not, apparently, going to ever head to HBO as Pizzolatto has had a rather poor relationship with them since <em>TD<\/em>, openly criticizing<em> True Detective: Night Country <\/em>(which I would argue was deserved).<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\">\n<div>\n<p><span>True Detective<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small>HBO<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Through all this, we only know two things about the show:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s called \u201cThe Brothers Project,\u201d where McConaughey and Hauser are playing brothers. (This is sort of funny as McConaughey has an Apple TV+ comedy in the works where he will play Woody Harrelson\u2019s brother, another <em>True Detective<\/em> reunion. There are also reports that the two recently found out they could be half-brothers).<\/li>\n<li>Then, The Brothers Project is related to sports in some way, as the project is from Skydance Sports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Netflix has not commented on this project, as all this is from internal industry reports. And as such, it does not have any specific date attached to it. 2026 or 2027 seems the most likely, provided all of this comes to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a few high-profile sports series in recent years. Owen Wilson golf outing <em>Stick <\/em>was just renewed for season 2 on Apple TV+. Apple also refuses to let its hit <em>Ted Lasso <\/em>rest in peace. Netflix renewed Kate Hudson\u2019s <em>Running Point <\/em>almost immediately. What isn\u2019t known, however is whether this is a drama or a comedy like those others. Given everyone involved, it seems like a comedy is somewhat unlikely. And if we\u2019re talking sports drama, I have instant flashbacks to the all-time classic, <em>Friday Night Lights.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\">\n<div>\n<p><span>LOS ANGELES, CA &#8211; JANUARY 10: Nic Pizzolatto and Matthew McConaughey attend the HBO premiere of True Detective Season 3 at DGA Theater on January 10, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
