In the opening of the clip, Navarro asks Danvers if she ever wants to just disappear from the area and “just walk out” and “never stop.”

The series returns to HBO for the first time in four years and marks the first frame since HBO and True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto formed their partnership, with Pizzolatto staying on as producer.

“We posted it in January because I wanted to make sure we had Issa and Jodie Foster available to talk about it,” Bloys said, referring to union rules that prohibit promoting projects while a strike is in progress.
