Season 4 of “True Detective” on HBO gives the main role to Kali Reis. Jodie Foster

HBO has officially given the go-ahead for Season 4 of “True Detective,” and Jodie Foster and Kali Reis will play the leads.

In March, it was said that the premium cabler was working on a new season of the anthology drama. The season is called “True Detective: Night Country,” and it starts when the long Alaskan winter night falls and the six men who run the Tsalal Arctic Research Station disappear without a trace. Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to face the dark parts of themselves and dig into the haunted truths buried under the eternal ice in order to solve the case.

Reis hasn’t been acting for very long. Her first movie was “Catch the Fair One,” which came out in 2021. She not only played the main role in the movie, but she also helped make the story for it. Reis is best known for her time as a professional boxer. In multiple weight classes, she won world championships. She has 19 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw on her professional record. Her last fight was in November 2021. During that fight, she kept both the WBA and IBO titles for super lightweight women and won the vacant WBO title for super lightweight women.

Reis is also a motivational speaker and a vocal supporter of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement. She teaches young Native women how to fight both physically and vocally against the targeting of Native youth.

ICM and Authentic Talent & Literary Management represent her.
