Yes, That’s Lera Lynn on the New ‘True Detective’ Season 2 Teaser


HBO’s noirish crime drama “True Detective” returns this June for a second season starring Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch, and the Internet is very excited about it.

Today, HBO released a teaser trailer for the new season, featuring a bunch of smoldering actor-glares and evocative shots of grimy-ass Los Angeles paired with a dark, dreamy country tune that had a bunch of people on YouTube all like, “Who is that singer?”

As it turns out, that singer is none other than former Athenian Lera Lynn (!), who confirmed via Facebook that she had soundtracked the clip with a new tune, co-written with Nashville bigshots Roseanne Cash and T-Bone Burnett.

Watch the trailer below:
