If Moss is really being considered, this is definitely the best move HBO has made in a while - especially concerning this show. She's a 5-time Emmy nominee and just wrapped the final season of Mad Men. She's pretty much a free agent and True Detective would absolutely benefit from her casting.

Plus, The Wrap is reporting on possible plot details for the upcoming season:

The second season of True Detective will follow the death of Ben Caspar, the corrupt city manager of a fictional California city who's found brutally murdered amid a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change freeway gridlock in the state. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought.
