Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn are officially on the case.
After months of rumors, HBO confirmed that the actors have been sworn in as the leads for the second season of 'True Detective.'
Farrell, 38, who confirmed his participation earlier this week, will play 'a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him,' according to the network.
The 44-year-old Vaughn, meanwhile, stars as 'a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.'
The pair have a tough act to follow: Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey headlined the critically acclaimed first season of 'True Detective.'

But creator Nic Pizzolatto has said he envisions the series 'True Detective' continuing as a crime anthology - with the eight-episode second season focusing on three different police officers and Vaughn's crook 'navigating a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.'
Casting of the two other leads - one of which is expected to be a name actress - has yet to be announced.
'Fast & Furious' director Justin Lin will be behind the camera for the first two episodes , taking over for Emmy winner Cary Fukunaga.
