The 30-second clip called “Chaos” (above) features snippets of dialogue that offers clues about the characters of the all-new cast, played by Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, Taylor Kitsch and Vince Vaughn. Though there’s no dialogue in the teaser called “Stand” (below) we do see McAdams, Farrell, Kitsch and Vaughn engaged in a series of face-offs and confrontations that quickly build into explosions and violence, suggesting the second season will be as action-packed as the first. The new season starts on June 21. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/"},"headline":"Watch 2 Intense New True Detective Teasers","datePublished":"2015-06-08T12:28:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:59:43.108Z","description":"\"How compromised are you?\"","url":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt520a8926edc81b74/6988536035ba6f4340c0d9dc/screen-shot-2015-06-08-at-13-23-34.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt520a8926edc81b74/6988536035ba6f4340c0d9dc/screen-shot-2015-06-08-at-13-23-34.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2015-06-08 at 13.23.34","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/","name":"Watch 2 Intense New True Detective Teasers"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"True Detective Season 2: Stand","description":"A teaser for the new season of HBO's show, True Detective.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/yy2eNvc8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-08T11:56:43.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/yy2eNvc8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/","duration":"PT30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3912286/true-detective-season-2-teaser/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
