The filming of the second season of "True Detective" will start in September, according to HBO's head of programming Mike Lombardo.

The HBO executive revealed some substantial information about the season two of the hit TV series "True Detective". At the recent Guardian International Television Festival in Edinburgh, he also spilled the beans that the upcoming season will have its own story, cast, setting, and period apart from the previous season.

"We're going to start shooting in September for it to air next summer. [It has] different characters, a different setting. It's set in California, all of California. There are three cops. One of the characters is female. I think that's probably all I'm allowed to say. We'll probably be announcing casting soon," Hollywood Reporter cited Lombardo.

He also revealed that the writing was better compared to last season as he has received copies of some parts of the scripts and outlines for the two consecutive episodes of the show. Lastly, he said that three or four directors will go on board next season. However, specific details have been kept under wraps.
