If it was me, I would have made sure the contract as an Executive Producer was for the length of the True Detective series “in perpetuity” . Not just season 1. Then you still paid, no matter where the creative direction of the show goes. Plus Woody and Matthew would have the clout to ask that in the contract of a new series IMO.

People do that. It’s gotten a little weird with anthology shows - keeping on actors turned execs for the duration of the series even though they were only in the first season, like this one. Another thing actor/exes have been doing is getting it in the contract that they have the right to work on the spin-offs or reboots. Example- Charmed. The original actresses I believe all* (I doubt dougherty) had the options of exec producing the reboot a decade later. I’m sure when ratings start to fall, they will flex their muscle and cast themselves to boost ratings.
