'True Detective' Season 2 Spoilers, Plot News: HBO Drama Hires Porn Stars for Scene in Premiere
In its attempt to top the hugely acclaimed debut season of "True Detective," the HBO drama will return for its second season this summer with some unorthodox hires: porn stars.
Apparently, the thriller will have a huge orgy in a "colossal" Eyes Wide Shut- style sequence involving dozens of naked bodies, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
At least two major talents from the adult film industry, Amia Miley and Peta Jensen, were hired for a deliriously vast orgy sequence that "Game of Thrones" may have a hard time beating.
The 24-year-old actresses were reportedly cast for the scenes, but it seems they may not have actually gotten nude entirely since Miley and Jensen are among the few actresses in the scene who will remain at least partially clothed.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that the actresses were recruited through an extras agency, not specifically because of their porn experiences.
Dozens of actors were hired for the scene and filmed. All were required to sign nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from discussing their work on the secretive series created by Nic Pizzolatto.
According to participants in the naked scenes, it was shot in a Pasadena mansion over the course of a few days that was attended by Season 2 lead stars Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams.
It was not confirmed whether Farrell or McAdams participated naked for the sequence.
"True Detective" Season 2 will represent a major departure from the first season of the acclaimed cable show, which was first starred by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
The action will shift from Louisiana to California with Farrell, McAdams, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Afemo Omilami leading the new cast.
