Colin Farrell plays the role of Ray Velcoro; a compromised detective who is tied between his corrupt seniors in the office and a mobster who owns him.

While Taylor Kitsch is set to play the role of a detective, Rachel McAdams also landed a lead role as a detective aimed to appeal to the fans similar to Matthew McConaughey's part as Rust Cohle in Season 1.

Michael Irby plays Elvis who is McAdams' partner, and Leven Rambin plays the role of a beautiful woman with a drug addiction. Last but note least, Abigail Spencer plays the role of a survivor of a sexual attack.
