• To prepare, Matthew McConaughey created a four hundred fifty-page analysis, the "Four Stages of Rustin Cohle," to study his character's evolution over the course of the story.

• Creator Nic Pizzolatto contemplated another ending for season one, in which Marty and Rust didn't leave the maze and were never heard from again, but in the end, he decided to give them a happy ending.

• According to Matthew McConaughey, the entirety of Rust Cohle's interview scenes were shot in one day; this means about twenty-eight pages of a four hundred fifty page season one script were filmed over the course of an eighteen hour work day.
