New True Detective cast member Vince Vaughn has said that the second season of the show is "totally different", and he is not feeling the pressure to live up to the success of the show's first season.
The first season of writer Nic Pizzolatto's anthology series starred Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey in the lead roles, and received widespread acclaim.
However, Vaughn said he does not feel the burden of season one, telling Playboy: "Honestly, no, because Nic Pizzolatto is such a great writer, and so much of this is driven by his stories.
"I thought Woody [Harrelson] and Matthew [McConaughey] did an exceptional job with the first season. This one's very different, though. It's a totally different story, with its own characters. "
Vaughn continued: "The thing that's consistent is the richness of the characters and the quality of the material. That was Louisiana. This is a California-based story, and it was kind of birthed from here.
"A lot of it is set in Los Angeles. I really like my character. Nic is so great about investigating characters and their complexities in an authentic and engaging way."
The second series of True Detective will also star Colin Farrell, who Vaughn said he was happy to work with as he had never acted opposite him before.
