Deep dives
The Genesis of Night Country
Night Country was originally a concept in the works before the call from HBO for True Detective. The idea of a murder mystery in the Arctic with elements of mystery and supernatural presence was present. The writer/director had the beginning and ending in mind, a vanishing of men in the Arctic and the Thirteen Pass incident. HBO's call for True Detective was the perfect opportunity to merge the two concepts.
