True Detective: Night Country raked in 12.7 million viewers surpassing the first series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson that ran on HBO 10 years ago.

HBO’s drama chief Franchesca Orsi (that’s the head of dramatic shows and not behind-the-scenes drama, of course) praised López’s bold new take on the Night Country series. It took the crime anthology to the cold town of Ennis, Alaska, during the “polar night.”

Orsi called her “that one-of-a-kind, rare talent that speaks directly to HBO’s creative spirit.”
