Ali was reportedly interested earlier this month, but talking to reporters at the TCA summer tour, HBO boss Casey Bloys announced that the Oscar winner had made a deal to star in the third season of the show. And that progress was being made by writer/producer Nic Pizzolatto. "I’ve read five scripts on the new season and I think they’re terrific," Bloys said. "When we find a director, we'll be a go on that."
After a successful first season, the HBO crime anthology series created by Pizzolatto suffered critical slings and arrows and much less cultural buzz for the second, and development appeared to go very quiet on any third run of episodes. But back in March this year, the news broke that Pizzolatto was throwing himself back into early work on a possible follow-up, with NYPD Blue and Deadwood man David Milch stepping aboard to offer the benefit of his experience in both cop series and HBO shows.
Who will join Ali in the show remains to be seen, though we'd welcome the chance to see him once again share the screen with fellow Luke Cage actor Alfre Woodard...
