True Detective Season 2 Casts Porn Stars

HBO has added two new cast members for its second season and The Hollywood Reporter (THR) calls this move “unorthodox” as the actresses hired are apparently porn stars. Read on.

Amia Miley and Peta Jensen, both 24 years old, have been hired for “True Detective” season 2 to take part in an orgy sequence in the vein of “Eyes Wide Shut.” The scene was apparently filmed on location in Pasedena with the lead stars of the show, Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams, apparently present on the set. The report did not clarify if the two were also part of the scene.

Cast and crew members signed a non-disclosure agreement, so no other details can leak. But the THR report said that the porn stars were asked to be on the show not for their “porn experience.” They were hired as extras, along with several other actors and apparently, they didn’t even strip down to their birthday suit.

Amia Miley, tagged by Complex Magazine as the 44th hottest porn star, has since retired from this line of work though and was recently seen in the “Power Rangers” remake that was released online in February. Peta Jensen, meanwhile, is still apparently active.

Apart from Farrell and McAdams, “True Detective” Season 2 will also star Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch. It has been reported that this new anthology will tackle another murder, where the victim is apparently heavily into S & M, which probably explains the orgy scene. HBO is targeting a summer release for the second season.

Last year, “True Detective” made a mark on television for its well-crafted story as well as the performances by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, who did a TV series for the first time. The two stars, as well as the series, were recognized by various award-giving bodies this past season.
