The filming of "True Detective" season 2 has reportedly been pushed back as the series is still looking for its female lead.

After months of speculations and lack of update, it seems that the series is finally coming into shape when it comes to cast, characters, plots and settings.

Latest reports state that Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch bagged the three male lead roles in the series. Farrell's and Vaughn's participation were confirmed last month. Taylor Kitsch is the latest actor to confirm his signing deal for his role in the series.

Reports claim that Kitsch turned down a lot of promising projects and roles in order to prepare himself for his role in "True Detective." He also confirmed that he met with show creator Nic Pizzolatto to discuss his role and he's excited to being a part of a series that he likes a lot.

Meanwhile, there is no confirmed actress yet for the female lead. Rumors claim that Rachel McAdams is close to signing a deal with the production company of the series. The female lead will play the role of Californian sheriff named Ani Bezzerides with gambling and alcoholism issues.

Furthermore, Abigail Spencer, Kelly Reilly, Michael Irby and Leven Rambin are said to have joined the cast.

Irby would play the role of Elvis, the partner of the female lead. Spencer will play the role of a survivor of a sexual assault, and Rambin will portray a beautiful woman with a checkered past. Lastly, Reilly will play a role described as "the self-possessed Morgan."

Since the rest of the cast has not been decided yet, the filming is already delayed. Previous reports claimed that filming should have started in September but it is already November and not a single scene has been shot.

The second season of the hit TV series is set to be back in summer of 2015.
