Haunting New True Detective Motion Posters

Last year’s True Detective was great television but the world it portrayed was an unremittingly bleak place full of murderers, corruption and an unspeakable hairstyle from Mathew McConaughey. And it looks like the new series, starting later this year, might be even murkier.

In a series of new promotional ‘motion posters’ (more commonly known as gifs) the chilling tagline ‘We get the world we deserve’ hangs over dark urban landscapes, including a labyrinthine motorway junction, which suggests that the world we deserve might well be Birmingham.

The second season of True Detective, which stars Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch, starts on Sky Atlantic on 22 June.
